Number of books each of them have:

Jaime: x
Grant: x - 6
Ky: 3 (x - 6)

There are 176 books in total, so we can write it down as:

176 = x + x - 6 + 3 (x - 6)
176 = x + x - 6 + 3 * x + 3 * (-6)
176 = x + x - 6 + 3x - 18
176 = 2x - 6 + 3x - 18
176 = 5x - 24                        / + 24 (both sides)
5x = 200                              / ÷ 5 (both sides)
x = 40

Doublecheck:

Jamie: 40
Grant: 40 - 6 = 34
Ky: 3 (40 - 6) = 3 * 34 = 102

102 + 34 + 40 = 176, so it's correct :)

A boat as a buoyant force of 260 N and weight of 80N what is the maximum weight capacity that is allowed on the boat to allow it
Alika [10]

180 N

Step by Step Explanation :

Step 1 :

Given that the buoyant force of the boat is 260 N

and the boat's weight is 80 N

We have to find the maximum weight capacity of the boat so that it continues to float.

The boat would float when the total of the weight of  boat and the load it carries do not exceed the buoyant force.

Step 2 :

The weight capacity of the boat is therefore 260 N - 80 N = 180 N

Hence the boat can carry a weight of 180 N to continue to float
