What is the solution to the inequality 18 < 3n + 3?

Back

To solve 18 < 3n + 3, subtract 3 from both sides to get 15 < 3n. Then divide both sides by 3 to find n > 5.

If a trailer can hold a maximum weight of 1,800 pounds, and a mattress weighs 175 pounds, how do you find the maximum number of boxes weighing 60 pounds each?

Back

First, subtract the weight of the mattress from the maximum weight: 1800 - 175 = 1625. Then divide by the weight of each box: 1625 / 60 = 27.08, so the maximum number of boxes is 27.
