We can write an equation to resemble the problem.
1160 = 170 + 50x
x equals the number of boxes he is carrying.
Solve for x.
1160 = 170 + 50x
990 = 50x
19.8 = x
We can't round up because that will be to much weight. So, we are going to round down.
19.8 -> 19
Therefore, the answer is 19.
Best of Luck!
Learn this...it helps
HOY = horizontal line, 0 slope, represented by x = a number
VUX = vertical line, undefined slope, represented by x = a number
undefined slope -- so its a vertical line
(5,-8)...remember, vertical lines are represented by x = a number....so we can say x = (now, what is the number for x in ur set of points ? it is 5...so ur equation is x = 5. it does not matter what value y is, x is ALWAYS gonna be 5
So this is read as 23 degrees, 20 minutes, and 48 seconds. Each degree has 60 minutes and each minute has 60 seconds, somewhat like time. You must start from right to left for this to work. This may seem complicated but the way to find this is as follows:
23+(20+(48/60))/60. A simpler way to see this is by first taking 48/60 which is .8. Now you take 20+.8 which is 20.8 and you divide it by 60 once more. This comes out to be approximately .35. Now you have converted the seconds and minutes to degrees so you add 23+.35 which is 23.35. Therefore your answer is 23.35 degrees.
