The Sugar Sweet Company is going to transport its sugar to market. It will cost $3500 to rent trucks, and it will cost an additional $150 for each ton of sugar transported. Let C represent the total cost (in dollars), and let S represent the amount of sugar (in tons) transported. Write an equation relating C to S. Then use this equation to find the total cost to transport 17 tons of sugar.

C = $6050

Equation:

To write the equation, we have to remember that C is the total cost, so that means the equation should end in "= C". S is the amount of sugar, so the equation would look something like this:

3500 is at the beginning since that is the cost for the trucks, and each ton of sugar costs $150, and that would get multiplied by S amount of sugar, to get the total cost, C.

Solving the equation

To solve the equation when S = 17, we simply have to plug in S as 17 into our equation we wrote above.

150 * 17 is 2550, and 3500 + 2550 is 6050, which is C.

Our answer is: C = $6050

y < -3

step-by-step explanation:

-3y - 2 > 7

-3y -2 + 2 > 7+2

-3y > 9

-3y/-3 < 9/-3   (change the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number)

y < -3

5+2x=a
