Given :
A trailer will be used to transport several 40-pound crates to a store.
The greatest amount of weight that can be loaded into the trailer is 1,050 pounds.
An 82-pound crate has already been loaded onto the trailer.
To Find :
The greatest number of 40-pound crates that can be loaded onto the trailer.
Solution :
Weight left = 1050 - 80 = 970 pound.
Let, number of 40 pounds crates that can be loaded are x.
Since, crate cannot be in fraction, so maximum crate that can be loaded is 24.
Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
SR = ST ⇒ Two sides are equal. So, ΔSRT is an isosceles triangle.
The angles opposite to equal sides are equal.
⇒ ∠STR = ∠R
∠STR = 4x - 28
Linear pair: If a ray stands on a line, then the adjacent angles are supplementary and they are called linear pair
∠STR + ∠STU = 180° {linear pair}
4x - 28 + 9x = 180
4x + 9x - 28 = 180 {Combine like terms}
13x- 28 = 180
Add 28 to both the sides
13x = 180 + 28
13x = 208
Divide both sides by 13
x = 208/13
