I think this system is consistent and dependent
B not quiet sure but if anything try again : )
Answer:
Let the additional weight that can be added be = x
Current weight of the bag = 38 pounds
Total weight can be = 50 pounds
The equation becomes:
38+x < or equal 50
x < or equal 50-38=12
Hence, a weight of 12 pounds cab be added to the current wight.
The formula for this is
. Filling in accordingly,
. This simplifies to
and 36=6x. Therefore, x = 6 so the bases are 6 and 12.
