Absolute Value. The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line. For example, -7 is 7 units away from zero, so its absolute value would be 7.
Answer:
91.42 crates
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Greatest Number of 140kg crates = x
weight of crate = 140-kilogram
Weight of other shipment = 13200 kilograms
greatest weight of container = 26000 kilograms
Weight of other shipment + (weight of crate * number of crates) ≤ greatest weight of container
13,200 + 140x ≤ 26,000
140x ≤ 26,000 - 13,200
140x ≤ 12,800
x ≤ 12,800/140
x ≤ 91.42 kilograms
Greatest Number of 140kg crates = 91.42 crates
Factorise to (5z-1)(z-4) = 0
then put 5z-1 = 0 so 5z = 1 z = 1/5
z-4=0 z = 4
z = 1/5 and 4
