Ralphie uses a boat to move merchandise between two shipping ports. The boat can hold no more than 2,016 kilograms of merchandise. Ralphie already has 1,526 kilograms of merchandise loaded onto the boat and wants to load more boxes of merchandise that weigh 67 kilograms each. Which of the following inequalities could be used to solve for x, the number of boxes of merchandise that can still be loaded onto the boat? A. 67x - 1,526 < 2,016
B.67x < 1,526
C.67x + 1,526 < 2,016
D.67x < 2,016

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
