Answer 2

Answer:

$x=38,728+41,584$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent total number of items delivered by company.

We have been given that a shipping company delivered 38,728 letters and 41,584 packages.

$\text{Total number of items delivered by company}=\text{Number of letters}+\text{Number of packages}$

$x=38,728+41,584$

Therefore, our required equation would be $x=38,728+41,584$.

$x=80,312$

Therefore, the company delivered 80,312 items.
