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

svp [43]

Answer:

(f + g)(x) = – 3x^2 + 5x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x)

= 5x^2 + 9x – 4 + (– 8x^2 – 3x – 4)

= 5x^2 + 9x – 4 – 8x^2 – 3x – 4

Combine

= – 3x^2 + 5x - 8

The difference of a number and -6 is less than 9 write an inequality and solve
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

n - (-6) < 9

n < 3

Step-by-step explanation:

When setting up an inequality, using the key words from the problem will help.  The word 'difference' would indicate subtraction and 'less than' would be the '<' inequality sign.  Since the expression is 'the difference of a number and -6', we write:  

n - (-6) < 9

Whenever we subtract a negative number, we change both signs to positive:

n + 6 < 9

Using inverse operations to solve:  n + 6 - 6 < 9 - 6

n < 3
