We know that the load is 8713 lbs.

The total weight (truck + load) is 17200 lb.

Then, we can calculate the weight of the empty truck as:

\begin{gathered} L=8713 \\ W=L+T=17200 \\ \Rightarrow T=W-L \\ T=17200-L=17200-8713=8487 \\  \end{gathered}

Answer: the empty truck's weight is 8487 lb.

T: empty truck's weight

W: total weight (loaded truck's weight)

L: Load

The equation is:

T = W - L

Allison’s dog is 6 pounds more than 5 times the weight of Gail’s dog. What algebraic expression could you make to find (g) which
emmasim [6.3K]

Given that Allison’s dog is 6 pounds more than 5 times the weight of Gail’s dog, it is important to know the following:

1. The word "more" indicates an Addition.

2. The word "times" indicates Multiplication.

Knowing this, you can write the following expression to represent "5 times the weight of Gail’s dog", where "g" is the weight of Gail’s dog:

5g

Therefore, you can determine that the weight of Allison's dog (in pounds) is the sum of 6 pounds and 5 times the weight of Gail's dog (in pounds). Then, you can represent this with this algebraic expression:

5g+6

Hence, the answer is:

5g+6

a trapezoid with base measure of 23 km and 29km an area of 390km . find the height of the trapezoid.
cupoosta [38]
Hello!

To find the area of a trapezoid you use the equation

A =  \frac{a+b}{2} h

Put in the values you know

390 =  \frac{23+29}{2} h

Add

390 = \frac{52}{2} h

Divide

390 = 26 * h

Divide both sides by 26

15 = h

The answer is 15km

Hope this helps!
