Question
"A trucking firm has 8 trucks, some carry a load of 10 tonnes and others carry a load of 5 tonnes. When all 8 trucks are carrying a full load, the total load is 70 tonnes." Develop and solve simultaneous equations to determine the number of trucks of each size that the trucking firm has.
Answers
Steve
total trucks: x+y = 8
total loads: 10x + 5y = 70
I expect you can solve that with little difficulty.
total loads: 10x + 5y = 70
I expect you can solve that with little difficulty.
