Answer:
2002 pounds
Explanation:
To know the weight of the plane, we need to find an equation that relates the amount of fuel to the weight.
This equation can be founded using the following

Where m is the slope, x1 is the number of gallons and y1 is the respective weight. So, replacing m = 6.0, x1 = 51 gallons and y1 = 2206 pounds, we get:

Now, we can solve for y

Then, we can calculate the weight of an airplane with 17 gallons of fuel replacing x = 17 on the equation above
y = 6x + 1900
y = 6(17) + 1900
y = 102 + 1900
y = 2002
Therefore, the answer is 2002 pounds
The mess up occurs in one of the first things she says. She first claims that 7^2 +25^2 = 24^2
Wait a minute... slow your roll there.
25 is the hypotenuse, or the longest side of the triangle AND opposite the right angle (but we aren't supposed to know that yet).
The Pythagorean Theorem holds that a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a & b are the legs of the triangle & c is the hypotenuse. So, she got the formatting correctly, but she switched 24 & 25.
Hope this helps!
