A) cm-5=g
B)cm+5=g
C) Cg =m+5
D) cg =m-5
Answer by Theo(13342)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! did you mean g eggs?
i don't see how the 9 fits into the equatins.
there were c crates and the maximum number of eggs each could carry was m eggs.
at full capacity, the number of eggs that could be transported would therefore be c * m.
if all the crates were filled to capacity except for 1 crate and that crate had 5 empty slots, then the total capacity carried by the crates would be cm - 5.
if g was the number of eggs that were transported, then the equation would be g = cm - 5.
if you didn't mean g rather than 9, then i don't see what the solution should be since there was no mention of g anywhere in the presentation of the problem.
i think selection A should be your answer, but am confused by no mention of g.
