Vince loads 10 boxes into his truck. some of the boxes weigh 20 pounds, and some weigh 30 pounds. the total weight of the boxes is 280 pounds. if x= the number of 20-pound boxes and y= the number of 30-pound boxes, which pair of equations will give the number of 20-pound and 30-pound boxes vince has?

Here, x represents the number of 20-pound boxes and y represents the number of 30 pound boxes.

As per the given condition: Vince loads 10 boxes into his truck.Some of the boxes weigh 20 pounds, and some weigh 30 pounds and the total weight of the boxes is 280 pounds.

⇒ x+ y =10                      .....[1]

and

20x+30y = 280               .....[2]

Multiply  equation [1]  by 20 we get;

Using distributive property:

20x + 20y = 200                   ....[3]

Subtract equation [3] from [2] we get;

Combine like terms;

10y = 80

Divide both sides by 10 we get;

y = 8

Substitute this y value in equation [1] we get;

x + 8 = 10

Subtract 8 from both sides we get;

x + 8 -8 =10-8

Simplify:

x = 2

Therefore, the pairs of equation are:  x+ y =10 and 20x+30y = 280

Vince has the number of 20-pound boxes is, 2 and the number of 30 pound boxes is, 8

the correct answer to your question is a. 4^4

good luck my friend!

hope this !

maybe if i you could me by giving me brainliest?

answer: the sun

explanation:

water cycle describes the evaporation of water from earth's surface, formation of clouds and precipitation water back onto the surface of earth. seventy percent of the earth is covered with water in the form of seas and oceans. the heat of the sun causes the evaporation of water from the surface of the ocean. the water vapors rise and condense to form water droplets. the collection of these water droplets form clouds which rain down again.

the evaporation of the oceans surface water as part of the water cycle is caused by the sun
