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

Valentin [98]
Answer is parallel lines
Reason - same slope (3x) and different y intercept means they will be parallel lines because their slope is the same but they will cross the y axis at different points.

y = 3x - 10 to match the other equation
y = 3x - 6

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

The expression 35 - m is used to determine the number of gallons left in the tank after m minutes.Solution:Given that a tank containing 35 gallons of water is leaking at a rate of gallon per minute. Let "m" represent the number of minutes spent Number of gallons left in the tank = initial amount of water present – leaked amount of water

Number of gallons of water left = 35 gallons – number of minutes spent  rate of leakage.

Number of gallons of water left = 35 gallons – m minutes  1 gallons per minute Hence, the required expression is 35 – m
