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)

The sum of a number times 8 and 21 is less than -16.
vodka [1.7K]

Hello.

First of all, let the number be t.

8 times t can be written like this:

\mathrm{8t}

Notice that the number is before the variable and the times sign (×) is not there.

We can write it as 8×t, but we usually write it as 8t.

The sum of means we add:

8t+21

Now, "less than" is "<" :

\mathrm{8t+21 < -16}

Therefore, the answer is

\mathrm{8t+21 < -16}

I hope it helps.

Have a nice day.
