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.

Use pascal's triangle to expand the binomial<br> (d-5y)^6<br><br> please show work
Ratling [72]
Pascals triangle to the 6th:
1                                     x^0
1 1                                  x^1
1 2 1                               x^2
1 3 3 1                           x^3
1 4 6 4 1                        x^4
1 5 10 10 5 1                x^5
1 6 15 20 15 6 1          x^6<span>

</span>the problem is to the 6th power so your going to use the 6th row of pascals triangle (don't count the first row). these numbers represent the coefficients of the variables

1(d-5y)^6 + 6(d-5y)^5 + 15(d-5y)^4 + 20(d-5y)^3 + 15(d-5y)^2 + 6(d-5y) + 1
then simplify
