Answer:

older person: 32 yrs younger person: 5 yrs

Step-by-step explanation:

older person age: o

younger person age: y

o=5y+7

o+y=37

Solve with substitution:

5y+7+y=37

6y+7=37

6y=30

y=5

Plug back in:

o+5=37

o=32

A small cargo plane currently has 140 pounds of cargo aboard. In addition, n boxes weighing 45 pounds each will be brought aboar
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

The inequality that represents this situation is: 140 + 45*n < p

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the plane already had 140 pounds on board and "n" boxes will be loaded on it, then the weigh of each box multiplied by the number of box should be the extra cargo on the plane. This extra cargo added to the previous load must be less than the limit of cargo the plane can take as shown below:

140 + 45*n < p
