All sacks of sugar have the same weight. All sacks of flour also have the same weight, but not necessarily the same as the weigh

t of the sacks of sugar. Suppose that two sacks of sugar together with three sacks of flour weigh no more than $40$ pounds, and that the weight of a sack of flour is no more than $5$ pounds more than the weight of two sacks of sugar. What is the largest possible weight (in pounds) of a sack of flour?

Sugar: x pounds
flour: 2x + 5 pounds
2x + 3(2x + 5) = 40
2x + 6x + 15 = 40
8x = 25
x = 3.125
-> a sack of flour is 3.125 + 5 = 8.125 pounds
I hope it‘s coorect

Solve for r <br> r/8 =7<br> r = ____
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

r=56

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, r divided by 8 gives 7, if you do the inverse function(which is basically like the reverse of the question)

you can multiply 8 and 7 to find the r.

So 8 times 7 gives 56.

And to check you can do

\frac{56}{8} which gives 7

You can tell me if my explanation is wrong. Thanks
