Rufus collected 18 pounds of aluminum cans to recycle. He
plans to collect an additional 2
pounds each week. He wants to
collect a total of 42 pounds of
aluminum cans. Let x represent
the number of weeks Rufus
collects aluminum cans.

12

Step-by-step explanation:

collected can=18pound

total can to collect=42

collected can per week=2

now,

42-18 =24

so, remaining cans to collect is 24pound

and,

24/2

=12

so, Rufus have to collect for 12 weeks for 42pound of cans in total

the answer is 1/4

step-by-step explanation:

let y equal to

the total fare and x is the mile of taxi ride. so the equation is

y = 0.55x + 1.75

since susie has

$10 to spend for a taxi cab, so he can have

10 = 0.55x +

1.75

x = 15 miles of

taxi ride

so the system of

inequality is

10 < 0.55x +

1.75

x > 2
