Answer:

16 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

160+50x=1000

Solve for the x and you'll get 16.8. Now, because you can't have a fraction of a box, and you can't go over the limit, the answer is 16 boxes.

(How to solve for x:

Get x by itself by subtracting 160 to both sides.

50x=1000-160

50x=840

Divide both sides by 50.

x=16.8)

This is a double question. Part 1: 5(2x - 4) = 30. Solve for x Part 2: 5x + 3 - x + 2 = 41. Solve for x. I will mark Brainliest
Ainat [17]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1: 5(2x - 4) = 30.

Distribute

10x -20 = 30

Add 20 to each side

10x-20+20 =30+20

10x = 50

Divide by 10

10x/10 = 50/10

x =5

Part 2: 5x + 3 - x + 2 = 41

Combine like terms

4x +5 = 41

Subtract 5 from each side

4x+5-5 = 41-5

4x = 36

Divide by 4

4x/4 = 36/4

x = 9
