<span>Carl has 3 bags in total. One backpack weighs 4 kg and the rest two checking bags have the equal weight. The total weight of 3 bags is given to be 35 kg.

Let the weight of each checking bag is w kg. So we can write:

2 x (Weight of a checking bag) + Weight of Backpack = 35

Using the values, we get:

2w+ 4 = 35

Using this equation we can find the weight of each checking bag, as shown below.

2w = 31

w = 31/2

w = 15.5

Thus, the weight of each checking bag is 15.5 kg

Answer: Weight of each of Carl's checked bags is 15.5 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of checked bags of equal weight = 2

Weight of a backpack = 4 kg

Total weight of Carl's baggage = 35 kg

Let the weight of checked bags be 'w'.

According to question,

2w+4=35\\\\2w=35-4\\\\2w=31\\\\w=\frac{31}{2}\\\\w=15.5\ kg

Hence, Weight of each of Carl's checked bags is 15.5 kg.

Five times the sum of a number and 27 is greater than or equal to six times the sum of that num
stepladder [879]

Question:

Five times the sum of a number and 27 is greater than or equal to six times the sum of that number and 26.

What is the solution set of this problem?

Answer:

x \leq -21

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

<em>Represent the number with x</em>

So:

5 * (x + 27) \geq 6 * (x + 26)

Required

Determine the solution set

5 * (x + 27) \geq 6 * (x + 26)

Open Both Brackets

5 * x + 5 * 27 \geq 6 *x + 6 * 26

5x + 135 \geq 6x + 156

Collect Like Terms

5x - 6x \geq 156-135

- x \geq 21

Multiply both sides by -1

x \leq -21

Hence, the solution set is x \leq -21
