step 1
convert pounds to ton
1 ton------> 2204.62 lb
<span>each crate weighs 80 pounds
so
by proportion
1/2204.62=x/80
x=80/2204.62-----> x=0.036 ton
each crate weighs 0.036 ton

step 2
divide 2 ton by 0.036
2/0.036=55.11 crate----------> 55 crate

the answer is
</span>the greatest number of crates that can be loaded onto the elevator is <span>55 

alalternative method
</span>step 1
convert ton to pounds 
1 ton------> 2204.62 lb
a freight elevator has a weight limit of 2 ton
2 *2204.62 -----> 4409.24 lb

step 2
each crate weighs 80 pounds
divide 4409.24 by 80
4409.24/80=55.11 crate----------> 55 crate

How do I find the slope, domain, range and y intercept of y=-2x
Natasha2012 [34]

Slope is defined as the rate of change, in this case the change in y with respect to x. In standard form for a binomial linear equation, y = mx + b. The constants m and b are the slope and intercept, respectively. For your equation, the slope is -2 and the intercept is 0. The domain (possible values of x) for this graph is (-∞, ∞) and the range (possible values of y) is also (-∞, ∞).

-4(n - 6) = 12<br><br> Solve the Equation.
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
-4(n - 6) = 12

n - 6 = -12/4   divide both sides by -4

n - 6 = -3

n = -3 + 6    add both sides by 6

n = 3

hope that helps, God bless!
