Answer:

91.42 crates

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Greatest Number of 140kg crates = x

weight of crate = 140-kilogram

Weight of other shipment = 13200 kilograms

greatest weight of container = 26000 kilograms

Weight of other shipment + (weight of crate * number of crates) ≤ greatest weight of container

13,200 + 140x ≤ 26,000

140x ≤ 26,000 - 13,200

140x ≤ 12,800

x ≤ 12,800/140

x ≤ 91.42 kilograms

Greatest Number of 140kg crates = 91.42 crates

How to solve the problem 3.2d-4d=2.3d+3

Liula [17]

3.2d - 4d = 2.3d + 3...simplify by combining like terms
-0.8d = 2.3d + 3....subtract 2.3d from both sides
-0.8d - 2.3d = 3 ...simplify again
-3.1d = 3...divide both sides by -3.1
d = 3/ -3.1
d = - 0.97

or
3.2d - 4d = 2.3d + 3....multiply the equation by 10, gets rid of the decimals
32d - 40d = 23d + 30....subtract 23d from both sides
32d - 40d - 23d = 30....simplify
-31d = 30...divide by -31
d = -30/31
d = - 0.97
