Answer: 12x-4, 14 counters, 8 more counters

Step-by-step explanation:  There are 2x yellow, 4x+6 red, and 6x-10 blue counters. We need to add all of this up to get the total number of counters. We first add the x's : 2x+4x+6x = 12x. Then we add the numbers. 6+ (-10) is -4. So, our expression is 12x-4. Next, we need to find out how many blue counters are in the bag. We know that there are 44 total counters and we need to find x because all the counters have x in them. 12x-4 = 44. We first add 4 to both sides to get 12x= 48 and x = 4. blue has 6x-10 counters so, blue has 24-10 = 14 counters. Red has 16+6 = 22 counters. 22-14 = 8 more counters

there are 4 sections of seats I the playhouse theatre. each section has 7 groups of seats.each group has 25 seats. how many seat
Nady [450]
To find the number of seats, let's do it using multiplication!

First, to see how many seats are in one big section of the theatre, multiply 7 groups of seats by 25 seats:

7 x 25 = 175

Now, knowing this, multiply 175 by 4 to get the total number of seats in the theater!

175 x 4 = 700

Therefore, there are 700 seats in the theatre.

Hope this helps!

A programmer wants to display how the shape of a rectangle with a fixed perimeter of 300 inches can be changed by varying the re
stiv31 [10]

If the rectangle has a fixed width of 300, it means that

2(l+w)=300 \iff l+w=150 \iff w=150-l

where w and l are width and length, respetively.

So given the length l, the are would be

l\times w = l\times (150-l)=-l^2+150l
