Good for Keira. Is there a question that goes along with this?
<span>2,000 pounds are a short ton also sometimes referred to as an English ton. Your 20,000 pounds are therefore 10 short tons. By contrast the Metric ton is 1,000 kg or 2,204 American pounds.
2000 pounds = 1 short ton
2240 pounds = 1 long ton</span>
Add 10 to both sides to cancel out the 10
divide 2 on both sides
X= 18
