a shipping company delivered 38,728 letters and 41,584 packages. write and solve an equation to find how many items the company delivered.
Answer:
\(x=38,728+41,584\)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent total number of items delivered by company.
We have been given that a shipping company delivered 38,728 letters and 41,584 packages.
\(\text{Total number of items delivered by company}=\text{Number of letters}+\text{Number of packages}\)
\(x=38,728+41,584\)
Therefore, our required equation would be \(x=38,728+41,584\).
\(x=80,312\)
Therefore, the company delivered 80,312 items.
