Answer:

The equations are:

T = 2Y and T + 2Y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent bones eaten Today with T and yesterday with Y

Required

Write the equation

In the first statement, we have that:

T = 2Y

Reading further; In the second statement

T + 2Y = 15

Hence, the equations are:

T = 2Y and T + 2Y = 15

Solving further:

Substitute 2Y for  T in the second equation

2Y + 2Y = 15

4Y = 15

Divide both sides by 4

Y = \frac{15}{4}

Y = 3.75

Recall that

T = 2Y

T= 2 * 3.75

T= 7.5

x = 1/4 * 1/3

x = 3/4

Notes:

X: is the total distance.

1/3 is the one portion of total distance.

1/4 mile is the distance store.

You have $50 to spend on cold cuts for a party. Ham costs $5.99/lbs, and turkey costs $4.99/lbs. Write an equation in standard f
Bumek [7]

Answer:

The answer here is 5.99x + 4.99y <= 50

Step-by-step explanation:

x represents the number of pounds of ham you buy, and y represents the number of pounds of turkey you buy. Since you only have 50 dollars, the amount of money you spend has to be less than or equal to 50.

A rectangular box has interior dimensions 6-inches by 5-inches by 10-inches. The box is filled with as many solid 3-inch cubes a
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer: The box would have 99% of its volume taken up.

Step-by-step explanation: The box has dimensions as follows;

Length = 6 inches

Width = 5 inches

Height = 10 inches

Therefore the volume of the box shall become

Volume = L x W x H

Volume = 6 x 5 x 10

Volume = 300 cubic inches

Also a 3 inch cube would have its volume given as follows (

Volume = 3 x 3 x 3 (All sides of a cube has equal lengths)

Volume = 27 cubic inches

To find out how many of 3-inch cubes can fit in, divide 300 by 27 and that equals 11.11.

Hence you can have at most 11 cubes in the box. The total volume of 11 cubes is given as 11 x 27 which equals 297. Therefore, the percentage of the box taken up completely by the cubes is given as;

Percentage = (Volume of cubes/Volume of box) x 100

Percentage = (297/300) x 100

Percentage = 99

Therefore the box would have 99% of its volume taken up by the cubes.

A​ triangular-shaped deck has one side that is 4 feet longer than the shortest side and a third side that is 4 feet shorter than
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The shortest side is 20 feet, the second side is 24 feet and the third side is 36 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the shortest side of this triangle has a length of "x" feet, then one side is "x + 4" feet and the third is "2*x - 4" feet. Since the perimeter of the deck is 80 feet, then the sum of the length of these sides should be equal to that.

x + x + 4 + 2*x - 4 = 80\\4*x = 80\\x = \frac{80}{4} = 20 \text{ feet}\\

The shortest side is 20 feet, the second side is 24 feet and the third side is 36 feet.
