Question

A manufacturing company produces x units this week and wants to increase its weekly output by 190 units by next week. The company hopes to make 1645 units next week. Which equation can be used to find x?

a) x + 190 = 1645
b) x - 190 = 1645
c) x + 1645 = 190
d) x - 1645 = 190

Answer 1

The correct equation to find x is x + 190 = 1645. By solving this equation, we can determine the number of units the company needs to produce this week.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct equation that can be used to find x is a) x + 190 = 1645.

To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 190 from both sides of the equation:

x + 190 - 190 = 1645 - 190

x = 1455

Therefore, the company needs to produce 1455 units this week to achieve their goal of making 1645 units next week.
