So basically you are going to line up your equations (already done). Next, you will just add each term. So x + 3x = 4x, then 2y - 2y = 0 (we wouldn't put anything) then 7 - 3 = 4
So then we have all of our terms figured out and will have 4x = 4 then divide 4x by 4 to get x alone and then you will also divide the four that is by itself by four to equal one. So, your answer is x = 1. I hope that helps!
I’m pretty sure it’s 10 and 16
Answer: 63lbs
Step-by-step explanation:
The truck can only hold 16crates and each crate weigh 12lbs, the total weight of the 16 crates will be 12×16= 192lbs
This shows that the truck can only contain extra load of 1200lbs - 192lbs = 1008lbs (excluding weight of crates).
To get the shipment weigh close to the total of 1200lbs, the truck must be loaded with engine components not more than 1008lbs.
Since we have 16 crates to fill with engine components not more than 1008lb, each crates will therefore must not exceed 1008/16 pounds of engine components which is equivalent to 63lbs.
Therefore, the manager should instruct the workers to put 63lbs of machine components in "each crate" in order to get the shipment weight as close as possible to 1200 lbs.
