Given :
A morning truck can carry no more than 1480 pounds of cargo.
Brian loaded 640 pounds into the truck already.
He is loading boxes that weigh 70 pounds.
To Find :
How many boxes can he out into the truck.
Solution :
Weight left for carrying cargo, W = 4180 - 640 pounds
W = 3540 pounds
Number of boxes of 70 pounds cargo he can carry in truck is :
≈ 50 .
Therefore, number of box they can carry is 50.
Hence, this is the required solution.
We are given a data set and we are asked to write the model that fits the data. We notice that for each step of "x" the values of "y" increase by the same amount. That means that the data follow a linear model, therefore, we will use:
Where:
To determine the slope "m" we will use the following formula:
Where:
Are data points. From the table we choose the following points:
Now, we substitute in the equation for the slope:
Solving the operations:
Therefore, the slope is -7. Substituting in the equation of the line we get:
Now, we substitute one of the points to get the value of "b". We will substitute the value x = -8, y = 47, we get:
Solving the product:
Now we subtract 56 from both sides:
Now, we substitute the value of "b" in the equation of the line:
And thus we get the line equation.
