The answer will be 17 tons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

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

As we know that

[tex]1\ ton=2000\ lbs\\\\14\ tons=2000\times 14\ lbs\\\\14\ tons=28000\ lbs[/tex]

So, 14 T 1,000 lb. is given by

[tex]28000\ lbs+1000\ lbs\\\\=29000\ lbs[/tex]

Similarly,

[tex]1\ ton=2000\ lbs\\\\2\Tons=2\times 2000\ lbs\\\\2\ tons=4000\ lbs[/tex]

so,

2T 1,000 lb. is given by

[tex]4000+1000\\\\=5000\ lbs[/tex]

So,  14 T 1,000 lb. + 2 T 1,000 lbs is given by

[tex]29000+5000\\\\=34000\ lbs\\\\=\frac{34000}{2000}\\\\=17\ tons[/tex]

Hence, the answer will be 17 tons.
