Answer:14 small boxes and 12 large boxes were shipped.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of small boxes of paper that were shipped.

Let y represent the number of large boxes of paper that were shipped.

A total of 26 boxes of paper were shipped. This means that

x + y = 26

The volume of each small box is 7 cubic feet and the volume of each large box is 13 cubic feet. The total number of boxes shipped have a combined volume of 254 cubic feet. This means that

7x + 13y = 254 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 26 - y into equation 1, it becomes

7(26 - y) + 13y = 254

182 - 7y + 13y = 254

- 7y + 13y = 254 - 182

6y = 72

y = 72/6 = 12

x = 26 - y = 26 - 12

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say S is the number of small boxes and L is the number of large boxes.

S + L = 26

7S + 13L = 254

Solve the system of equations using substitution.

7S + 13(26 − S) = 254

7S + 338 − 13S = 254

84 − 6S = 0

S = 14

L = 26 − S

L = 12

The company shipped 14 small boxes and 12 large boxes.

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

∅1=15°,∅2=75°,∅3=105°,∅4=165°,∅5=195°,∅6=255°,∅7=285°,

∅8=345°

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

r = 8 sin(2θ), r = 4 and r=4

iqualiting; 8.sin(2∅)=4; sin(2∅)=1/2, 2∅=asin(1/2), 2∅=30°, ∅=15°

according the graph 2, the cut points are:

I quadrant:

0+15° = 15°

90°-15°=75°

II quadrant:

90°+15°=105°

180°-15°=165°

III quadrant:

180°+15°=195°

270°-15°=255°

IV quadrant:

270°+15°=285°

360°-15°=345°

Blanche bought a 5-year cd for $7100 with an apr of 2.8%, compounded quarterly, but she wants to take all her money out 9 months
katrin2010 [14]
The formula for getting the accumulated amount(compounded) is;
A =P(1+r%)∧n
Where A = Acumulated amount 
            P = principle (deposit)
            r = interest rate and
            n = period
Since the interst is compounded quartly, 
period = (5×4)-3 = 17

A = 7100(1+2.8/100)∧17
   = 7100×1.028∧17
   = 11,353.80

The money she will end up earning in interest on the cd = $11,353.80

Elan Coil [88]

To Find :

Net worth of Rachel.

Solution :

Net worth is given by the (sum of all the assets she owns) -( total amount of loans she have ).

Net \ Worth=( 195000+160000+2325+9300+1437+1200)-(875+4800)\\\\Net \ Worth=\$\ 363587

Therefore, net worth of Rachel is $ 363587.
