Question

An empty shipping box weighs 250 grams. The box is then filled with t-shirts. Each tshirts weighs 132.5 grams. the equation W = 250 + 132.5T represents the relationship between the quantities in this solution where W is the weight in grams of the filled box and T the number of shirts in the box. Name two possible solutions to the equation.

Answer 1

We need to propose two solutions to the following equation:

`W=250+132.5T`

To propose said solutions we need to take two values of "T" and solve the equation for them. The first one will be T = 1 and the second will be T = 2.

`\begin{gathered} W(1)=250+132.5\cdot1 \\ W(1)=382\text{.}5 \\ W(2)=250+132.5\cdot2 \\ W(2)=\text{ }515 \end{gathered}`

The proposed solutions are (1, 382.5) and (2, 515).
