A shipping container will be used to transport several 40-kilogram crates across the country by rail. The greatest weight that can be loaded into the container is 23000 kilograms. Other shipments weighing 7800 kilograms have already been loaded into the container.

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

A shipping container will be used to transport several 40-kilogram crates across the country by rail. The greatest weight that can be loaded into the container is 23000 kilograms. Other shipments weighing 7800 kilograms have already been loaded into the container. Which inequality can be used to determine cc, the greatest number of 80-kilogram crates that can be loaded onto the shipping container?

Solution :

Given data :

Weight of the crate = 40 kg

Greatest weight that the container can load = 23000 kg

Weight of the other shipments on the container = 7800 kg

So the greatest number of 40 kg crates = c

Therefore, the weight of the other shipment + weight of crate x number of crates ≤ greatest weight of the container

7800 + (40 x c) ≤ 23000

7800 + 40c ≤ 23000

40c ≤ 23000 - 7800

40c ≤ 15200

c ≤ 380

Hence, the maximum number of 40 kg crate is 380.

the answer is b i just did that

step-by-step explanation:

a) $ 9.50

b) 17

c) y-intercept (0, 12). this is the initial amount of money that joe had prior to playing any game.

d) x-intercept ( 24, 0). this is the number of games that joe will play before he depletes the initial amount of money that he had.

e) slope is -0.5. joe's balance will reduce by 0.5 for every game that he plays.

f)

domain; [0,24]

range; [0,12]

g) x + 2y = 24

step-by-step explanation:

a)

if joe plays 5 games, this will imply that x = 5. substitute x = 5 in the equation and solve for y;

y = -.50x + 12

y = -0.50(5) + 12

y = 9.50

b)

if joe leaves the arcade with $3.50, this will mean that y = 3.50. plug in y = 3.50 in the given equation and solve for x;

y = -.50x + 12

3.50 = -0.50x + 12

0.50x = 12 - 3.50

0.5x = 8.5

x = 17

c)

the function given is   y = -.50x + 12.

the y-intercept is the point where the graph of this function will intersect the y-axis. at this point, the value of x is usually 0. plug in x = 0 in the given equation and determine y;

y = -0.50(0) + 12

y = 12

the y-intercept is thus (0, 12). this is the initial amount of money that joe had prior to playing any game.

d)

the x-intercept refers to the point where the graph of a function intersects with the x-axis. at this point, the value of y is 0. substitute y = 0 in the given equation and solve for x;

0 =   -.50x + 12

0.5x = 12

x = 24

x-intercept ( 24, 0). this is the number of games that joe will play before he depletes the initial amount of money that he had.

e)

the slope of the given equation is -0.5. the equation has been given in slope-intercept form. thus the slope is simply the coefficient of x.

joe's balance will reduce by 0.5 for every game that he plays. this is the interpretation of the slope.

f)

domain is the set of x values for which the function is real and defined. the domain will thus be; [0,24]. this will restrict the balance to only assume positive values.

on the other hand, the range is the set of y values for which a function is real and defined. the range in our case will be [0,12]. joe can have between $0 and $12 balance.

g)

the standard form of the equation of a straight line is;

ax + by = c

where a, b, and c are integers.

our equation is given as;

y = -.50x + 12

re-writing the equation we have;

0.5x + y = 12

divide all through by 0.5;

x + 2y = 24
