Product of 4 and a number translates to 4x because the word product means multiplication.
We then need to subtract one from that which would be 4x - 1.
The word is translates to "equals" so 4x - 1 = 11 is the translation of the whole problem.
Now solve that equation.
4x - 1 = 11
1st add +1 +1
2nd simplify 4x = 12
3rd divide. 4 4
x = 3
Answer:
3 3/7
Step-by-step explanation:
2 = 14/7
14/7 + 10/7 = 24/7

Answer:
-9
Step-by-step explanation:
18÷x = -2
18 = -2×x
18 = -2x
-9 = x
x = -9
Answer:
111 boxes
Step-by-step explanation:
He bought 223 feet of wood
Each box will take 2 feet
To determine the total number of box he'll make from 223,
1 box = 2 feet of wood
X box = 223 feet of wood
X = (223 × 1) / 2
X = 111.5 box approximately 112 boxes
But technically, since its 111.5, he'll be able to make 111 boxes completely with 0.5 feet of wood left
