each truck in the line weigh two tons more than the truck before it. the trucks weigh a total of 32 tons.how many pounds does a truck weigh

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: If there are 4 trucks then the first truck weighs x
then x+2tons
then x+4tons
then x+6tons = 32tons
so 4x+12=32
         -12   -12
     /4         /4
x=5 
so plug it back in 
truck 1= 5tons or 10,000lbs
truck 2= 7tons or 14,000lbs
truck 3= 9tons or 18,000lbs
truck 4= 11tons or 22,000lbs

1)   3x-2=x+10


Now, lets solve this step-by-step.

3x - 2 = x + 10
-x             -x

3x - x = 2x                                2x - 2 = 10

2x - 2 = 10
2x - 2+2 = 10+2          The inverse operation helps isolate the variable. 

2x = 12

2x/2 = 12/2

x = 12/2
x = 6


Answer: x = 6

2) x + 4 = 19 - 2x 


We can solve this much faster

x + 4 = 19 - 2x
                  +2x

x+2x = 3x

3x + 4 = 19
      -4     -4

19-4 = 15

3x= 15
3x/3 = 15/3
x= 5

Answer: x = 5

3) 
8x - 20 = x + 15

Much faster now!!

8x - 20 = x + 15
               -x
8x-x = 7x

7x - 20 = 15
      +20   +20
15+20 = 35

7x = 35
7x/7 = 35/7
x = 35/7
x = 5

Answer: x= 5
let x be the unknown number of all 3 equations
1.) 3x - 2 = x + 10 x=6
2.) x + 4 = 19 - 2x x=5
3.) 8x - 20 = x + 15 x=5

Can someone please help me solve the this?

260/4 = 64 so the answer to the first question is y=64x, the answer to the second question is y (the answer), and the answer to the last one is no because if you were to graph it, it would not go through the origin (0,0)

Brandi buys 1 dozen ears of corn for $6.96. Johanna buys on and a half dozen ears of corn at the same price per ear as Brandi. How much does Johanna pay in total for her corn?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Johanna is buying 1 1/2 at the same price as Brandi. Multiply the total price by 1 1/2 to find the price.

6.96=1 dozen

x=1 1/2 dozen

x=$10.44

Answer:

If Wyatt can husk at least 12 an hour, then to work out how much 72 takes, we do 72 ÷ 12 to find out the time. The answer is 6.

If Wyatt can husk 18 at most, then we do 72 ÷ 18 = 4 hours.

Wyatt can husk 72 dozen ears in anywhere between 4 and 6 hours, but if you were to average it, you would get 5 hours. ((4 + 6) ÷ 2 = 5).

In one month, Jillian made 36 local phone calls and 20 long distance calls. What was her ratio of local calls to long distance calls for that month? A. 3 : 2 B. 9 : 4 C. 9 : 5 D. 2 : 1

Answers

Ratio is the relationship between the number of same unit to verify the how bigger or smaller is a number to the another when we compare two quantities to each we write them in the form of the ration. The ratio of local calls to long distance calls made by Jillian in that month is 9/5. Thus the option C is the correct option.

Given-

Total local phone calls made by the Jillian is 36.

Total long distance phone calls made by the Jillian is 20.

To get the value of ratio we need to know about the term "ratio".

What is the ratio?

Ratio is the relationship between the number of same unit to verify the how bigger or smaller is a number to the another when we compare two quantities to each we write them in the form of the ratio.

Now to find out the ratio of local calls to long distance calls made by Jillian in that month we need to divide the number of local calls to the number of long distance calls.

Suppose r be the ratio of local calls to long distance calls made by Jillian in that month. Hence.

r=(36)/(20)

r=(9)/(5)

Hence the ratio of local calls to long distance calls made by Jillian in that month is 9/5. Thus the option C is the correct option.
