The average elephant can carry up to 1250 pounds on its back. four people are on its back, and they have a combined weight of 831 pounds. if the variable w stands for the amount of additional weight the elephant can carry, which of the following would be a reasonable value for this variable?

a.

1000 pounds

b.

100 pounds

c.

400 pounds

d.

1200 pounds

C:400 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The elephant can carry weight  on its back=1250 pounds

The combined weight of four people=831 pounds

We have to find the value of w.

According to question

Using subtraction property of inequality

Hence, the elephant can carry amount of  additional weight 419 pound or less than 419 pounds.

Therefore, option C is true.

75

step-by-step explanation:

you do x-29=46 (the number of cantaloupes sold)

in order to find x, you have to find what minus 29 equals 46, meaning you'd have to add 29 to 46.

29+46=75

if you replace x with 75, the equation looks like:

75-29=46

x=75

35 is an outlier
