Horatio wants to ship a batch of 8 machine parts. The packaging for each part weighs 2 pounds. If each part weighs x pounds, which expression represents the total weight of the parts and their packaging? And if each part weighs 6 pounds, what will the total weight of the shipment be? A. The expression is 2(x + 8), and the weight is 28 pounds. B. The expression is 8(x – 2), and the weight is 32 pounds. C. The expression is 8x – 2, and the weight is 46 pounds. D. The expression is 8x + 2, and the weight is 50 pounds. E. The expression is 8(x + 2), and the weight is 64 pounds. Reset Next

E. The expression is 8(x + 2), and the weight is 64 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Number of machine parts in a batch = 8

weight of packaging for each part = 2  pounds

Let  x be the weight of each part ( in pounds).

Weight of each part with packaging = x+2

Then, Total weight of the parts and their packaging =  (Number of machine parts) x (Weight of each part with packaging )

= 8(x+2)

If each part weighs 6 pounds, then put x= 6

Total weight of the parts and their packaging =  8(6+2)

= 8 x 8 = 64 pounds

Hence, If each part weighs 6 pounds, then the total weight of the shipment will be 64 pounds .

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
