The number of boxes renita and Vanessa has unpacked each is 6 and 9 boxes respectively.
<h3>Equation</h3>
- Number of boxes renita has unpacked = x
- Number of boxes Vanessa has unpacked = 2x - 3
- Total boxes both unpacked = 15
x + (2x - 3) = 15
x + 2x - 3 = 15
3x = 15 + 3
3x = 18
x = 18/3
x = 6
Therefore,
Number of boxes renita has unpacked = x
= 6 boxes
Number of boxes Vanessa has unpacked = 2x - 3
= 2(6) - 3
= 12 - 3
= 9 boxes

This problem is simply asking us to add the weights which are presented as fractions. You can easily get the answer if you input them directly in a calculator. But I think the challenge here is to manually add fractions.
Let's add the two 1/4 lb weights because it is easier for they have a common denominator. Just simply add the numerators.
1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4
Then, add with this the fraction part of 2 1/5.
2/4 + 1/5 = ?
The least common denominator is 4*5 = 20. Then divide 20 with each denominator and multiply to their respective numerator.
2/4 + 1/5 = [(20/4 * 2) + (20/5 *1)]/20 = 14/20
14/20 is simplified to 7/10. Then add the whole number 2. <em>Therefore, the sum of all weights is 2 7/10 pounds.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
I think the answer is B why don't you use a calculator?
Increasing it by 10% will be 11.55. To find teen percent all you do is make it a decimal then multiplying it by 10.50
P = 2L + 2W ....subtract 2L from both sides
P - 2L = 2W ...divide both sides by 2
(P - 2L) / 2 = W .....can also be written like (P/2) - L = W
