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.

Three orders are placed at a pizza shop. two small pizzas, a liter of soda, and a salad cost $14; one small pizza, a liter of so
mojhsa [17]
To determine the cost of each item, we need to set up equations. From the problem statement, we have three unknowns so we need three equations. We set up equations as follows:

let x cost of small pizzas
     y cost of soda
     z cost of salad
 
two small pizzas, a liter of soda, and a salad cost $14
2x + y + z = 14

one small pizza, a liter of soda, and three salads cost $15

x + y + 3z = 15

three small pizzas, a liter of soda, and two salads cost $22
3x + y + 2z = 22

Solving for x, y and z, we will have:

x = $ 5
y = $ 1
z = $ 3

A, B, and C are polynomials, where A = n, B = 2n + 6, and C = n2 – 1. What is AB – C in simplest form? A=–n2 + 3n + 5 B=n2 + 6n
slava [35]

Answer: B: n^2+6n+1

Step-by-step explanation:

A=n

B=2n+6

C=n^2-1

AB-C

n(2n+6)-n^2-1

2n^2+6n-n^2+1

n^2+6n+1

The following function represents the production cost f(x), in dollars, for x number of units produced by company 1:
tamaranim1 [39]
Company 1: f(x) = 0.25x² - 8x + 600
f(6) = 0.25(6²) - 8(6) + 600 = 9 - 48 + 600 = 561
f(8) = 0.25(8²) - 8(8) + 600 = 16 - 64 + 600 = 552
f(10) = 0.25(10²) - 8(10) + 600 =  25 - 80 + 600 = 545
f(12) = 0.25(12²) - 8(12) + 600 = 36 - 96 + 600 = 540
f(14) = 0.25(14²) - 8(14) + 600 = 49 - 112 + 600 = 537

company 2: 
  x       g(x)
  6        862.2
  8        856.8
10        855
12        856.8
14        862.2

Based on the given information, the minimum production cost of company 2 is greater than the minimum production cost of company 1.

Choose the situation that represents a function. The number of raisins in an oatmeal raisin cookie is a function of the diameter
expeople1 [14]
Answer: The time is takes to cook a turkey is a function of the turkey's weight.

In a function, there is an input and there is an output. The idea of a function is that each individual input is changed into an output.

The time it takes to cook a turkey depends on the size of the turkey.
Smaller turkeys would take less time to cook and larger turkeys would take longer to cook.

So if you start with the turkeys weight, you could determine how long it would need to cook. This is an example of a function.
