Note: Since the symbols for greatest integer function (GIF) and least integer function (LIF) are not given, I will be using the words GIF and LIF in the solution
GIF x means largest integer less than or equal to x, and LIF x means least integer greater than or equal to x.
We need to determine which expressions are equal
Option 1: GIF 4.9 and LIF 3.1
GIF 4.9 = 3
LIF 3.1 = 4
Hence GIF 4.9 ≠ LIF 3.1
Option 2: GIF 15.2 and GIF 14.8
GIF 15.2 = 15
GIF 14.8 = 14
Hence, GIF 15.2 ≠ GIF 14.8
Option 3: GIF -6 and LIF -6
GIF -6 = -6
LIF -6 = -6
Hence, GIF -6 = LIF -6
Option 4: LIF -3.2 and LIF -2.6
LIF -3.2 = -2
LIF -2.6 = -1
Hence, LIF -3.2 ≠ LIF -2.6
Hence, only in Option C the pair of expressions are equal.
Let's plug in (18,10) into each answer choice until we find the one that has it as a solution.
A) 2x - y = 26
2(18) - 10 = 26
36 - 10 = 26
26 = 26
Your answer is A.
I'll just do the rest to show that you the they are incorrect.
B) x + y = 18
18 + 10 = 18
28 ≠ 18
C) 2x - 2y = 36
2(18) - 2(10) = 36
36 - 20 = 36
16 ≠ 36
D) x - y = -28
18 - 10 = -28
8 ≠ -28
Your answer is A) 2x - y = 26.
Answer:
29
Step-by-step explanation:
23
6 *20 = 120
8 *60 = 480
120 + 480 = 600 pounds total
