Answer:

Cost of storybook is $16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that the Cost of storybook= ‘x’

If the cost of the cookbook is 3 times the cost of storybook then the cost of the cookbook will be ‘3x’

The cost of 1 cookbook and 4 storybooks = $112

The cost of cookbook and storybook can be calculated by the equation:

3x+4x=112

7x=112

Divide both sides by 7 to isolate x:

7x/7=112/7

x=16

Therefore, the cost of storybook is $16

there are four semi trailer trucks parked in a line at the rest stop after the first truck each truck in the line weighs 2 tons

alexira [117]

Call the weght of the first truck " $w_{1}$ ". We then know that the truck after that is 2 tons more, and the next and the next. i.e:
$w_{2} = w_{1} + 2$
$w_{3} = (w_{2} + 2) = (w_{1}+4)$
$w_{4} = (w_{3} + 2) = (w_{1}+6)$

We also know that total is 32 tons.
$w_{total} = 32 = (w_{1}) + (w_{2}) + (w_{3}) + (w_{4})$
$32 = (w_{1})+(w_{1}+2)+(w_{1}+4)+(w_{1}+6)$
$32= 4(w_{1})+12$
$20=4(w_{1})$
$w_{1} = 5 tons$

Therefore the trukcs weigh 5,7,9 and 11 tons for a total of 32 tons.

Converting to pounds, the trucks weigh 10,000, 14,0000, 18,0000 and 22,000 pounds.

Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic worked for 5

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

$50 and $115

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

the sum of the two rates = $165 per hour

Let x and (165 - x) represent the $/hour of the 15hr and 5hr mechanics respectively.

Then combining their charges together to get:

$(x*15)hour+(165-x)*5 hour=1325$
