Question 1008261: Suppose that the weight (in pounds) of an airplane is a linear function of the amount of fuel (in gallons) in its tank. When carrying
25
gallons of fuel, the airplane weighs
2040
pounds. When carrying
40
gallons of fuel, it weighs
2124
pounds. How much does the airplane weigh if it is carrying
50
gallons of fuel? Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Makes no sense.
----
An increase in fuel of 15 pounds --> an increase in gross weight of 84 pounds.
----
It doesn't work that way.
