Answer: It will take 7 days to use the inventory of shipping labels.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Total boxes shipped by warehouse worker per day = 25
Every box contains 3 shipping labels.
Inventory has 500 shipping labels.
Then, the total number of boxes can be made = (Total shipping labels) ÷ (labels in each box)
500 ÷ 3 =166.67≈166
Number of days it will take to use the inventory of shipping labels= (total number of boxes can be made) ÷ (Total boxes shipped per day)
= 166÷ 25=6.64≈7
Hence, it will take 7 days to use the inventory of shipping labels.
<u>Define x:</u>
Let the first number be x.
1st number = x
2nd number = x + 1
3rd number = x + 2
<u>Construct equation:</u>
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 4(x + 1)
3x + 3 = 4(x + 1)
Answer: 3x + 3 = 4(x + 1)
-3x - 18 = 0
-3x = 18
x = -6
