A construction manager weighs a bundle of 9 identical bricks and a 7 pound concrete block. The bundle weighs 30 pounds.

Respuesta :

Answer:

30 = 9x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The total weight of the bundle = 30 pounds

The weight of the bricks = x pounds

But he carried 9 bricks = 9x pounds

He also carried additional 7 pounds of concrete block.

An equation to show the total weight he carried is

30 pounds = (9x + 7) pounds

Since 9x represents the total weight of the bricks he carried

7 represents the weight of the concrete block

And 30 pounds represents the total weight of everything he carried.
