Given the equation:

14 T 1,000 lb. + 2 T 1,000 lb

Find the sum.

Solution:
In order to find the sum, we simply add first the measurements in tons, and then we also add the measurement in pounds separately. After equating the values, we then put back the values into one equation.

= 14 T 1,000 lb. + 2 T 1,000 lb

= 14 T + 2 T
= 16T

= 1000 lb + 1000 lb
= 2000 lb

= 16T + 2000 lb

Final answer:

= 16T + 2000 lb
