Question

An empty shipping box box weighs 250 grams. The box is filled with T shirts weighs 132.5 grams. The equation W=250+132.5T represent the relation ship between the quantities not the solution, where W is the weighs in grams of the filled box T is the number of shirts in the box. ​. WHAT DOES THE SOLUTION T=8, W=1310 MEAN IN THIS SOLUTION

Answer 1

Answer:

the solution means you can solve for either of the variables when one of the variables is known

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

W=250+132.5T

Where,

W = weights in grams of the filled box

T = number of shirts in the box

T=8 when W=1310

W=250+132.5T

Substitute T = 8 into the equation

W = 250 + 132.5(8)

= 250 + 1,060

= 1,310

The solution means when number of shirts in the box is 8, the total weight in grams of the filled box is 1,310

It also means you can solve for the number of shirts if weight of the box is given as 1310

W=250+132.5T

1310 = 250 + 132.5T

1310-250 = 132.5T

1,060 = 132.5T

T = 1,060 / 132.5

= 8

T = 8

Therefore, the solution means you can solve for either of the variables when one of the variables is known
