<h3>Part A:</h3>

The area A of a rectangle is A = bh, where b is the base of the rectangle and h is the height. The area of each rectangle with side lengths 1.5 ft and 2 ft is 1.5 × 2 = 3ft2. Since there are two rectangles with these dimensions, the combined area is 2 × 3 = 6 ft2. The area of each rectangle with side lengths 1.5 ft and 2.5 ft is 1.5 × 2.5 = 3.75 ft2. The area of each rectangle with side lengths 2 ft and 2.5 ft is 2 × 2.5 = 5 ft2. Since there are two rectangles of each type, the combined area is 2 × 3.75 + 2 × 5 =17.5 ft2. <u><em>So, the total surface area of the box is 6 ft2+ 17.5 ft2 = 23.5 ft2</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

<h3>Part B:</h3>

The employee needs to wrap 8 boxes, each with a surface area of 23.5 ft2. So, the combined surface area needing to be wrapped is 8 × 23.5 = 188 ft2. Since there is only 160 square feet of wrapping paper left, the employee will not be able to wrap all of the gifts

5x+2y=22. -2x+6y=3 What is the X coordinate of the solution. Round to the nearest tenth
just olya [345]
Multiply first example by 3 and subtract by second example, you will get the following:

3*(5x + 2y) = 3*22   =>  3*5x + 3*2y = 66      =>  15x + 6y = 66
now subtraction:
(15x + 6y) - (-2x + 6y) = 66 - 3
15x + 6y + 2x - 6y = 63
15x + 2x + 6y - 6y = 63
17x = 63
x = 63/17 ≈ 3.705..... and as it says to round to the nearest tenth our answer would be: x = 3.7

if 10 is less than a number is multiplied by 3, the result is equal to 2 times the number. What is the number?
olya-2409 [2.1K]
Hello!

We know that

(x - 10) * 3 = 2x

Distribute the 3

3x - 30 = 2x

Subtract 2x from both sides

x - 30 = 0

Add 30 to both sides

x = 30

The answer is 30

Hope this helps!

12x−5y=−20 y=x+4 x=x=x, equals y=y=y, equals
aksik [14]

Answer:

The solution is (0, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Please pay attention to the first two equations and drop the last two:

12x−5y=−20 y=x+4 x=x=x, equals y=y=y   should ideally be:

12x−5y=−20

y=x+4

Let's find x.  Substitute x + 4 for y in the first equation, obtaining:

12x - 5(x + 4) = -20

Carrying out the indicated multiplication, we get:

12x - 5x - 20 = -20, or 7x = 0

If x = 0 then y must be 0 + 4, or 4.  

The solution is (0, 4)
