Hello!

Jennifer's primary error was in line two, causing a chain reaction of errors in lines 3 to 5.

the correct solution is:

2x-8=40
2x=40+8
2x=48
2x÷2=48/2
x=24

I hope this helps, and have a nice day!

a trucking company shipped a total 151,375 boxes of fruit across the company. How many thousands of boxes of fruit were shipped?
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

The trucking company shipped a total of 151 thousands of boxes of fruits

Step-by-step explanation:

Total boxes of fruits shipped= 151,375

How many thousands of boxes of fruit were shipped?

To find the thousands of boxes of fruits shipped, divide the total number of boxes of fruits shipped by 1000

That is

151,375 / 1000

= 151.375

Therefore, the trucking company shipped a total of 151 thousands of boxes of fruits

151,375

5= one

7= tens

3= hundred

1= thousand
