A shipping container will be used to transport several 120-kilogram crates across the country by rail. The greatest weight that can be loaded into the container is 24000
kilograms. Other shipments weighing 5900 kilograms have already been loaded into
the container. What is the greatest number of 120-kilogram crates that can be loaded
into the shipping container?

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.

the correct answer option is (2x-3)(2x+3).

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the following expression and we are to factorize it:

we are to find such factors that when multiplied they give a result of 36 (9 x 4 = 36) and when added they give a result of 0.

the two such factors of 36 are negative six and postive six.

factorizing the given expression to get:

therefore, the correct factorization of is (2x-3)(2x+3).

ƒ = 0.03b
