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

Given the function f(x) = 3x + 1, evaluate f(a + 1). 3 a + 2 3 a + 4 3 a + 1
Tanya [424]

Answer:

f(a + 1) = 3a + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function is:

f(x) = 3x + 1

To determine f(a + 1) we have to substitute (a + 1) in place of 'x'.

Therefore, we have:

f(a + 1) = 3(a + 1) + 1

          = 3a + 3 + 1

          = 3a + 4

['a' could be any real number.]

So, f(a + 1) = 3a + 4 is the answer.

Find the value of x if B is the midpoint of AC, AB = 2x + 9 and BC = 37.
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

B is the midpoint of AC, in other words it is the halfway point.

So A to B should be equal to B to C

Our expression is:

2x + 9 = 37

Subtract 9

2x = 28

Divide by 2

x = 14
