A box, containing 25 bolts and 25 washers, has a mass of 475 g. Another box, containing 17 bolts and 34 washers, has a mass of 442 g. Determine the mass of one bolt and the mass of one washer

bolts=12g and washers=7 g

Step-by-step explanation:

honestly, i tried to solve this by hand and made an error somewhere, but i set up two equations, then tried to use elimintation to solve for one variable. but in the end i went to my trusty calculator and created a matrix, then used the rref math to solve. sorry i couldnt be of more help

if the eqn of the parabola is f(x) = (x-4)(x+2), we need to mult. this out to find the coordinates of the vertex.

then f(x) = x^2 + 2x - 4x - 8, and f(x) = x^2 - 2x - 8.

one way in which you can find the vertex is to calculate x = -b / (2a).   here, that comes to

        )

x = = 1.   f(1) = 1^2 - 2(1) - 8 = - 9.   vertex is at (1, -9).

        2(1) 

find another point on the curve:   let x=0, for which y=-8.   then (0, -8) is on the curve.   plot the vertex and this point and draw a smooth parabola thru both.

hope this
