We need to find an expression which will help Sara calculate the total weight of the truck.

By hypothesis, we know that x represents the number of cans in the truck. And each can weigh 14 ounces, so the total weight of the cans in the truck is 14*x = 14x.

Now in the truck, there's a total of 840 cans and bottles combined. And x is the number of cans. So 840 - x is the number of bottles. And since each bottle's weight is 70 ounces, the total weight of the bottles in the truck is 70*(840-x) = 70*840 - 70*x = 58800 - 70x.

Now to find the total weight, we add the weight of the cans to the weight of the bottle: 14x + 58800 - 70x = 58800-56x.

So the equation to find the total weight of the truck is:

58800-56x, in which x represents the number of cans in the truck.

Hope this helps! :)

Examine the expression. 17x - 34 Which is an equivalent expression? O 17*(1 + ) O 17x (1-2) O 17+(1-1) O 17*(1 + 2)

mixer [17]

Answer:

17(x-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

17x - 34

We are to factorize it

Get their factors

17x = 17 * x

34 = 17 * 2

Since 17 is common to both factors, hence 17 is the GCF

17x - 34 = 17(x - 2)

Hence the equivalent expression is 17(x-2)

Assume all variables represent non negative numbers . Help please!!

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

A). $2p^{8}$

B). $3m^{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

A). $\sqrt{4p^{16}}$

To get the square root of the given expression we will convert it into the square form.

$4p^{16}=(2)^2(p^{8})^2$ [Since 2×2 = 4 and $p^{8}\times p^{8}=p^{16}$ ]

Therefore, $\sqrt{4p^{16}}=\sqrt{2^{2}\times (p^{8})^2 }$

$=2p^{8}$

B). $\sqrt{9m^{44}}$

Since, $9m^{14}=(3)^2\times (m^7)^2$

Therefore, $\sqrt{9m^{44}}=\sqrt{(3)^2\times (m^7)^2}$ [Since 3² = 9 and (m⁷)² = m¹⁴]

$=3m^{7}$

Joe began to increase the speed of his car at 2:00 P.M. Since that time,the speed of Joes car has been steadily increasing by 1

Olegator [25]

Answer:

7 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

Current speed of Joes Car = 65.5 mph

We have to find the time interval for which the car exceeded the speed limit of 55 mph.

While, we are given that the speed of the car was constantly increasing, hence the speed over all increased from the limit of 55 mph = 65.50-55.00 = 10.50 mph

We are also given that Joes car was increasing speed at a constant rate of 1.50 mph for every passing minute. Hence

1.50 mph is increased in 1 minute

1 mph will be increase in $\frac{1}{1.5}$ minutes
