Answer:

150.833... or 150 and 5/6 crates

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create an equation to solve this.

Let x represent the number of 120 kilogram crates that can be loaded into the chipping container.

120x (weight of the crates) + 5900 (weight already in the container) = 24000 (max weight in the container)

We'll start by subtracting 5900 from both sides to try to isolate x, the number of containers we still need to meet 24000 kilograms.

120x = 18100

Now we just have to isolate x by dividing by 120.

x = 150.83333333333333333333333333333

If you want to use a mixed fraction form for this solution since the 3's keep repeating, it would be 150 and 5/6 crates.

Simplify -4(3-1)+2 <br><br>​
nikdorinn [45]

To solve this you must use the rules of PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction)

First we have parentheses.

-4(3 - 1) + 2

3 - 1 = 2

-4(2) + 2

We have no exponents so go on to multiplication

-4(2) + 2

-4 * 2 = -8

-8 + 2

No division so go to addition

-8 + 2

When adding a positive number with a negative number you will act as if you are subtracting the two numbers, then take the sign of the largest number  (disregarding the signs). In this case the largest number is 8 and its sign is negative. Your answer will have a negative sign.

-6

Hope this helped!

2. Determine the point of intersection for the equations below without graphing. Show all work.
Murljashka [212]
I’m pretty sure you would have to make them equal
1. 3x -10=7x+14
2. Add 10 to both sides
3. 3x=7x+24
4. Subtract the variable ( 7x ) from both sides
5. -4x=24
6. Divide -4/24

Lin solved the equation 8(x-3)+7=2x(4-17) incorrectly. Find the errors in her solution. What should her answer have been?
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer: The correr solution is x=\frac{17}{34}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the steps in Lin's solution are not shown, we are not able to find her erros. However, we can solve it step by step and find the correct result:

8(x-3)+7=2x(4-17)

Firstly, in the left part of the equation we have to multiply 8 by the numbers inside the parenthesis; and in the right side we have to solve first what is inside the parenthesis:

8x-24+7=2x(-13)

Adding similar terms in the left side and multiplying 2x by the number inside the parenthesis in the right side:

8x-17=-26 x

Isolating x:

x=\frac{17}{34} This is the correct solution

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

16x - (8x  + 6) =90

The first step is to distribute the - sign

16x -8x -6 =90

Now we combine the like terms

8x-6 = 90

Add 6 to each side

8x-6+6 = 90+6

8x = 96

Divide each side by 8

8x/8 = 96/8

x =12
