If there are 4 trucks then the first truck weighs x
then x+2tons
then x+4tons
then x+6tons = 32tons
so 4x+12=32
-12 -12
/4 /4
x=5
so plug it back in
truck 1= 5tons or 10,000lbs
truck 2= 7tons or 14,000lbs
truck 3= 9tons or 18,000lbs
<span>truck 4= 11tons or 22,000lbs</span>
Answer:
(x + 6 )(x + 6 )
2 numbers to add to 12 but also multiply to get 36
This is applying the formula

We have a slight problem, though, because we are measuring rate in miles per hour, and we are measuring time in minutes. To make this problem solvable, we need to convert to either miles per minute or convert the time to hours. I'm going to convert the 15 minutes into hours:

Now that all of the units match, we have:

You can finish from there I'm sure.
They get paid $22 a hour, so ur answer would be 374÷22=$17
