Answer:

130 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The floor has six sections and supports a total weight of 120 pounds.

Thus,

the amount of weight supported by each section of the floor  = \frac{120}{6}

                                = 20 pounds

But, the floor can support maximum weight of 900 pounds.

Thus,

maximum weight that can be supported by each section of the floor = \frac{900}{6}

                                 = 150 pounds

Let the maximum additional wight be represented by x. The maximum additional weight that each section of the floor can support can be determined by;

                       150 = 20 + x

                         x = 150 - 20

                         x = 130

The maximum additional weight that can be supported by each section of the floor is 130 pounds.

The price of 2 pears and 6 apples is $14. The price of 3 pears and 9 apples is $21. Can you determine the unit prices for pears
aliina [53]

Answer:

If 2p + 6a = $14

and 3p + 9a = $21

 then the following would also be true:

 1p + 3a = $7

 

If p = pear and a = apple, how much would each cost?  The unit prices can be determined by looking at the pattern. You can use multiplication to solve the problem.  

 For example, 1p + 3a*2 = $7

 

p = $1/each

a = $2/each or $6 total

What value of x is in the solution set of 8x 6 12+2x<br> O-1<br> O 0<br> O 3<br> O 5​
Sergeu [11.5K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Just consider the inequalities an equal sign and do the usual way of solving:

8x - 6 > 12 + 2x

8x - 2x > 12 +6

6x > 18

x > 3

*The only rule that you need to remember is that when you multiply or divide a negative number on both sides, then the inequality sign would be reverse.*

Example:

-x + 3 > -2

-x > -2-3

-x > -5

Multiplying both sides by -1:

x < 5
