Answer:

Explanation:

To find out how many weeks it will take to fill the high school's order, we need to solve the equation for the number of weeks (x). We can start by plugging in the given value of 104 for y since y represents the number of cabinets, and then solving for x:

y = 8x + 40

104 = 8x + 40

-40 -40

64 = 8x

x = 8

Therefore, it will take 8 weeks to produce enough cabinets to fill the high school's order.

substitute 140 for 'y', because 'y' is the amount of available cabinets (they need to be available in order for it to be installed).

you have;

140 = 8x + 40

solve for x from here
