Plz help I am timed The weight limit for hauling logs on a local highway is 80,000 pounds. A typical log truck weighs 30,000 pounds empty.
Write and solve and equation to find the maximum weight of lumber that the truck can carry and not exceed the weight
limit.
A. 30,000 + 80,000 = x; x = 110,000
B. 30,000 + x = 80,000; x = 50,000
C. 30,000x = 80,000; x = 2.67
D.80,000 - X= 30,000; x = 5,000

Regular Operations

The gross weight of vehicles in regular operations (operating without a special permit) is governed by the State's bridge formula (Computed Gross Weight Table in Ala. Code §32-9-20[a][4][c]). State law allows a 10 percent tolerance for weight enforcement (Ala. Code §32-9-20[a][4][d]). See Exhibit 8 for a summary of Alabama weight provisions under regular operations.

Step-by-step explanation:

the reason why your question keeps getting deleted because this is not a school related question : )

i will answer your question though.

i never tried church's

check above link.

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.
