Answer:

The range of weights in the scale allowed to report in order to be compliant with local inspection agency regulations is between 14.925 pounds and 15.075 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The weights should be within 0.5% of the actual weight measured.

15.0 pounds

0.005*15 = 0.075

Tolerance of 0.075 pounds

15 - 0.075 = 14.925 pounds

15 + 0.075 = 15.075 pounds

The range of weights in the scale allowed to report in order to be compliant with local inspection agency regulations is between 14.925 pounds and 15.075 pounds.

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

31, 114 and 35

Step-by-step explanation:

I set up the equation as such:

(3x + 21) + (x + 4) + x = 180

then I combined like terms:

5x + 25 = 180

And then solving for x I get:

5x = 155

x = 31

And then plugged the solved x value into the terms to give:

(3(31) + 21) = 114

(31 + 4) = 35

alongside the found angle of 31.
