Answer 1

38,728+41,584= 80,312

Answer 2

`x=38,728+41,584`

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.
