If there are 4 trucks then the first truck weighs x
then x+2tons
then x+4tons
then x+6tons = 32tons
so 4x+12=32
-12 -12
/4 /4
x=5
so plug it back in
truck 1= 5tons or 10,000lbs
truck 2= 7tons or 14,000lbs
truck 3= 9tons or 18,000lbs
truck 4= 11tons or 22,000lbs
Is the equation like this? x^2 + 25y^2?
If the equation is like that, the answer would be (x-5y)^2 or (x-5y)(x-5y).
how did I get this? Just divide the factors or the get the square root of 25y^2 and it would be 5y. Then just try if it is positive or negative. In this case, it is negative because there is no factor w/ no exponential form. I hopemy answer helped you.
I believe the expression would be:
x+2
For example, if you have the odd number 3 as x, 3+2 would be 5, the next odd number.
Hope this helped!! xx
