Answer:
6500 lb
Step-by-step explanation:
The load limit of the bridge is ...
(5000 kg)(2.2 lb/kg) = 11,000 lb
The total of truck and trailer cannot exceed this value, so the trailer's weight cannot exceed ...
11,000 lb -4,500 lb = 6,500 lb . . . max trailer weight
Square the -5 then use substitution (just combine the numbers)
First you subtract 47 from both sides (-47 from 47 and -47 from 32)
Then you get -3x = -15
Divide -3 from -3x and -3 from -15
Leaving you with X = 5
1 solution
x = -1/2

(3)(17.25) = 51.75; he spent $51.75
Because everything in the problem is positive, no negative numbers are needed.
