A shipping container will be used to transport several 80-kilogram crates across the
country by rail. The greatest weight that can be loaded into the container is 26500
kilograms. Other shipments weighing 6300 kilograms have already been loaded into
the container. Write and solve an inequality which can be used to determine x, the
number of 80-kilogram crates that can be loaded into the shipping container.

Answers

Answer 1

Answers:

The inequality to solve is [tex]80x+6300 \le 26500[/tex]The solution to the inequality is [tex]x \le 252.5[/tex]Interpretation: The most crates we can load is 252 since we can only load a positive whole number of crates, and because 253 is too many.

==============================================================

Explanation:

x = number of 80-kilogram crates

x is some positive whole number

1 crate weighs 80 kilograms, so x of them will weigh 80x kilograms.

This is added on top of the 6300 kg from the other cargo already on board.

We have a total weight of 80x+6300. Let's call this T.

So T = 80x+6300

We want T to be 26500 or smaller. Otherwise, we've gone over capacity.

This must mean we want [tex]T \le 26500[/tex] which is the same as saying [tex]80x+6300 \le 26500[/tex] after replacing T with 80x+6300.

---------------------------

Let's follow PEMDAS in reverse to isolate x

[tex]80x+6300 \le 26500\\\\80x+6300-6300 \le 26500-6300 \ \text{ ... subtract 6300 from both sides}\\\\80x \le 20200\\\\\frac{80x}{80} \le \frac{20200}{80} \ \text{ ... divide both sides by 80}\\\\x \le 252.5\\\\[/tex]

The inequality sign stays the same the entire time. It would only flip if we divided both sides by a negative number.

In the last step, we get a decimal value. However, as stated earlier, x is a positive whole number.

We cannot round to 253 because that's too high. We can check x = 253 is too high by noticing that...

80x+6300 = 80*253+6300 = 26,540

which is over the 26,500 mark by 40 kg

So we must round down to the nearest whole number and find that x = 252 is the largest x value possible. Let's check to see if we're under the weight limit

80x+6300 = 80*252+6300 = 26,460

We're under the 26,500 weight limit (with 40 kg to spare)

In short, the most crates that we can load is 252 crates in addition to the other cargo that collectively weighs 6300 kg (which may or may not consist of those 80-kilogram crates).

Given log34≈1.262 and log37≈1.771, what is the value of log3(167)?



Enter your answer in the box.

Answers

Answer:

0.753

Step-by-step explanation:

I just took the test lol

The value of log₃(⁷/₁₆) when log₃4 = 1.262 and log₃7 = 1.771 is;

log₃(⁷/₁₆) = -0.753

We are given;

log₃4 = 1.262

log₃7 = 1.771

We want to find log₃(⁷/₁₆)

Now, from properties of logarithm too, we have;

logₐ(x/y) = logₐx - logₐy

Thus;  log₃(⁷/₁₆) =  log₃7 -  log₃16

Also, we know that; logₐx² = 2logₐx

Thus; log₃16 =  log₃4²

log₃16 = 2log₃4

Thus; log₃(⁷/₁₆) = log₃7 - 2log₃4

Plugging in the relevant values gives;

1.771 - 2(1.262) = -0.753

Nicholas bought a new computer for $1,250. The value of the computer decreases by 17 percent every year. Approximately how much is the computer worth after 5 years?

Answers

Answer: The computer worth $ 492.38 after 5 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the value of an item depreciates by r% then the value of the item after t years is given by :-

[tex]V=V_0(1-\dfrac{r}{100})^{t}[/tex]

, where [tex]V_0[/tex] = initial value.

Given: [tex]V_0[/tex] =$1,250, r=17% , t= 5 years

Then, the value of computer after 5 years = [tex]1250(1-\dfrac{17}{100})^5[/tex]

[tex]=1250(0.83)^5\\\\=1250(0.39390)\\\\\approx492.38[/tex]

Hence, the computer worth $ 492.38 after 5 years.

where   y, the number of pairs of skates the factory has in the warehouse, and x be the number of hours

The slope-intercept form

                 y = m x +C

Given equation  200x - y + 500 = 0

                           200 x + 500 =y

Answers

Answer:

1. The similar triangles are ΔXYZ and ΔPQR

The triangles are similar by the AA rule of similarity

2. The similar triangles ΔXYZ and ΔPQR cannot be assumed as being congruent because more information are required about the length of a pair of corresponding sides of both triangles

3. x = 17.5

4. x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The angles of triangle ΔXYZ are;

∠X  = 32°, ∠Y = 84° and ∠Z = 180° - (84° + 32°) = 64°

The angles of triangle ΔPQR are;

∠P  = 64°, ∠R = 32° and ∠Q = 180° - (64° + 32°) = 84°

The angles of triangle ΔABC are;

∠A  = 64°, ∠C = 92° and ∠B = 180 - (92 + 64) = 24°

Therefore, the two similar triangles are ΔXYZ and ΔPQR

The triangles are similar based on Angle-Angle (AA) rule of similarity

2. The similar triangles ΔXYZ and ΔPQR cannot be assumed as being congruent because more information are required about the length of a pair of corresponding sides of both triangles

3. We have by corresponding triangles formed by the tree and Enzo as follows;

5 ft./(6 ft.)= x/(21 ft.)

∴ x = 21 ft.× (5 ft./6 ft.) = 17.5 ft.

x = 17.5 feet

4. By corresponding triangles, we have;

(35 ft.)/(40.5 ft.+ 54 ft.) = x ft./(54 ft.)

∴ x ft. = (54 ft.) × (35 ft.)/(40.5 ft.+ 54 ft.) = 54 ft. × (35 ft.)/(94.5 ft.) = 20 ft.

x ft. = 20 ft.

∴ x = 20
