A paper company needs to ship paper to a large printing business. The paper will be shipped in small boxes and large boxes. Each small box of paper weighs 25 pounds and each large box of paper weighs 50 pounds. A total of 22 boxes of paper were shipped weighing 925 pounds altogether. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of small boxes shipped and the number of large boxes shipped. Define the variables that you use to write the system.

Answer

s=amount of small boxes

l=amount of large boxes

25s+50l=925

s+l=22

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)

step-by-step explanation:

there are 36 inches in a yard

25 : 36 = 0.69 yards (you can round to 0.70)
