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

Kevin cuts lawns during the summer months. He charges $10 plus $5 per hour. The algebraic model is C = 5h + 10, where C represen
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

We have;

Hours (h),                            Total cost C

1,                                           5*1 + 10 =  $15

2,                                          5*2 + 10 = $20

3,                                          5*3 + 10 =  $25

4,                                          5*4 + 10 =  $30

5,                                          5*5 + 10 =  $35

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

Kevin's fixed charge for lawn cutting = $10

Kevin's charge for lawn cutting per hour = $5

The total cost, C, for cutting lawn cutting by Kevin is C = 5h + 10

Butoxors [25]

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

a) You must sum terms with same exponents, therefore, you have that the sum of these two polynomials is:

(x^{2}-4x+5)+(7x^{2}+2x-3)

8x^{2} -2x+2

b) First, you must mulitply the signs of the second polynomial by the negative sign, and them, you apply an algebraic sum. Therefore, the result is:

(7x^{2}+4x-6-2x^{2}+3x-1)  \\ 5x^{2} +7x-7

The answers are: a)8x^{2} -2x+2; b) 5x^{2} +7x-7

True or False? Tell whether the pair of ratios form a proportion. 49/21 and 28/12 Please explain why you chose what you chose​.
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

True, they form a proportion because their cross-multiplication products are equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{49}{21} =\frac{28}{12} True or False?

If they are a proportion, the products you get from cross-multiplying are the same.

Multiply the left numerator by right denominator:

49 X 12 = 588

Multiply the left denominator by right numerator:

21 X 28 = 588

588 = 588

Therefore it is true, 49/21 and 28/12 form a proportion.

What is the multiplicative inverse of 1 2/3 divide by 12
Gemiola [76]
"<span>What is the multiplicative inverse of 1 2/3 divide by 12?"

Suppose you actually divide 1 2/3 by 12:   (5/3) / 12 = (5/36).
Now, if you multiply this (5/36) by 12, you'll get (5/3), which is the same as
1 2/3.</span>
