Let x be the number of 20 ton cars

Then,
380<{15(22-x)+20x}<400
380<{330-15x+20x}<400
380<{330+5x}<400

Subtract 330 on both sides
50<5x<70

Divide both sides by 5;
10<x<14

Therefore, the range of 20 tonne cars is between 10 and 14 cars.

Combine like terms . What is a simpler form of the expression? 2(x/2 -5)-3/2(x+7/4). Please Explain.
Aleks04 [339]
Are you able to expand everything first? from there you would be able to combine line terms. basically if you have 3x+2x it would combine to 5x because they have x in them.
