Answer 1

Answer: The answer is W=70+30x

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Rei is barricading a door to stop a horde of zombies by satcking boxes of books on a table in front of the door.

Therefore, the weight of the table without boxes is 70 kilograms.

Now, if 'W' is the total weight of the barricade, then it can be written as a function of 'x', the number of boxes Rei stacks on the table. The expression is as follows -

So, if 'g' denotes the weight of the table alone, then we have,
