1/2 ton would be the correct answer since a single ton is 2,000 lbs
Answer:
x = 11/10
Step-by-step explanation:
we have from statement:
-1=1 - 4(-5+4x) – 4x
we apply distributive property:
-1 = 1 -4*(-5) -4*(4x) -4x
so we have:
-1= 1+20 -16x -4x
-1 = 21 -20x
-22=-20x
so we have:
x=22/20
x=11/10
we can substitute the x value found:
-1 = 1 - 4(-5+4*(11/10)) – 4*(11/10)
-1 = 1+20 -17.6 -4.4
-1 =21 -22
so we have:
-1 = -1
300000-50000=250000

I don't see a b or an m in this function, but generally, a linear function is of the form ax+b. The b in this equation (not sure if it is the same as your b), controls the shift of the function. Lower b by 3, the graph shifts down by 3.
So unless there is a minus sign before b, it has to be lowered by 3. (If there is a minus sign, it has to be increased by 3).
