Answer: 14 tons

$3,860.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the amount of sugar transported.

First company:

The cost is $3157 truck rental plus $50.25 per ton of sugar.

Total cost = 3157 + 50.25x dollars

Second company:

There is no charge for truck rental, but it costs $275.75 per ton of sugar.

The total cost is

275.75x

When the two costs are the same, then

275.75x = 3157 +50.25x

225.5x = 3157

x = 14 tons

The total cost is 275.75*14 = $3,860.50

Answer:

16 pounds of sugar

The initial cost to transport it would be $4812

Okay

So lets do company 1=a

2=b

So the equation for company a is

3604+75.5x

The second one is

300.75x

Now I would find the LCM

So I just predicted (guess and check)

so obviously 15 can be a good shot but that off a little bit,

16

so if you plug in 16 for each options for X

3604+75.5*16= 4812

The second company

300.75*16=4812

SO their the same

So 4812 cost, 16 tons

2x-y=-1 3x-y=2 in simultaneous equations
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Let's solve for x.

2x−y=−13x−y

Step 1: Add 13x to both sides.

2x−y+13x=−13x−y+13x

15x−y=−y

Step 2: Add y to both sides.

15x−y+y=−y+y

15x=0

Step 3: Divide both sides by 15.

15x

15

=

0

15

x=0

Answer:

x=0
