-40=5x
-8=x
Answer:
0 boxes minimum
Step-by-step explanation:
The mass of the truck and paper must satisfy ...
22.5b + 2948.35 ≤ 4700 . . . . total truck mass cannot exceed bridge limits
22.5b ≤ 1751.65
b ≤ 77.85
The driver can take a minimum of 0 boxes and a maximum of 77 boxes of paper over the bridge.
_____
The question asks for the <em>minimum</em>. We usually expect such a question to ask for the <em>maximum</em>.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, we are going to make an age table:
Age Now Age 10 years ago
Tanya
Elliot
Filling the in the Age Now column comes from the first sentence. If Elliot is 2 times Tanya's age and we don't know Tanya's age, then Tanya's age is x and Elliot's age is 2x:
Age Now Age 10 years ago
Tanya x
Elliot 2x
Filling in the Age 10 years ago column simply requires that we take their ages in the Age Now column and subtract 10 from each age:
Age Now Age 10 years ago
Tanya x x - 10
Elliot 2x 2x - 10
Since the question is How old is Elliot now based on the fact that 10 years ago....blah, blah, blah, we are using the ages in the 10 years ago column to write our equation. It says:
10 years ago, Elliot was 4 times as old as Tanya. Translated into mathspeak:
2x - 10 = 4(x - 10) and
2x - 10 = 4x - 40 and
-2x = -30 so
x = 15. That means that Elliot is 30 and Tanya is 15
