To answer the problem, let x be the number of apples Maria picked. By this representation, the number of apples Andre picked is 3x and that Jane picked 6x apples. The sum of all apples picked is 840. The equation that represent the situation is,

x + 3x + 6x = 840 ; x = 84

Andre picked 3x apples. Thus, Andre picked 252 apples.

A local company rents a moving truck for $750 plus $0.59 per mile driven over 1000 mi. What is the maximum number of miles the t

Katen [24]

The maximum number of miles the truck can be driven so that the rental cost is at most $\$1000$ is $\boxed{1423{\text{ miles}}}.$

Further explanation:

Given:

A local company rents a moving truck for $\$ 750.$

Rent per mile is $\$ 0.59$ if the truck moves more than 1000 miles.

Explanation:

The rental cost of the truck is $\$ 750$ if he drove less than 1000 miles.

${\text{Cost}} = \$ 750{\text{ }}x \leqslant 1000$

The rental cost of the truck can be expressed as follows,

${\text{Cost}} = 750 + 0.59x{\text{ }}x > 1000$

The rental cost is at most $\$1000.$

$750 + 0.59x \leqslant 1000$

The maximum number of miles can be obtained as follows,

$\begin{aligned}0.59x &\leqslant 1000 - 750\\0.59x &\leqslant 250\\x &\leqslant \frac{{250}}{{0.59}}\\x &\leqslant 423.7\\\end{aligned}$

The maximum number of miles can be obtained as follows,

$\begin{aligned}{\text{Maximum miles}} &= 1000 + 423\\&= 1423 \\\end{aligned}$

The maximum number of miles the truck can be driven so that the rental cost is at most $\$1000$ is $\boxed{1423{\text{ miles}}}.$

Can you write a 5 sentence summary about the substitution method?

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The method of solving "by substitution" works by solving one of the equations (you choose which one) for one of the variables (you choose which one), and then plugging this back into the other equation, "substituting" for the chosen variable and solving for the other. Then you back-solve for the first variable.
