anonymous · Answer

total weight = 17(x) + 12 for x = 4 w = 17(4) + 12 we did this kind of questions http://openstudy.com/users/swaqqout_kid1#/updates/547b84aae4b082a9810f2d44

Yeppers! we have

$\rm (17b)~+~12$

b = number of boxes = 4

So plug in the value\

$\rm (17\times 4)~+~12$

Can you tell me what is $\rm 17\times4?$
