If one raw contains 3x-2 trees & if the total trees in the rectangle are 24x-16, that means Horizontal Rows x Vertical Rows =Total number of trees:
(3x-2) * Vertical Rows = 24x-16 ===> Vertical Rows =(24x-16) / (3x-2)
Perform the division & you will find Vertical Rows =8
2860 times .12 equals $343.20
get the total units made:
170 + 165 + 149 + 157 + 181 = 822 units.
Multiply by pay:
822 x 0.12 = $98.64
Solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable
a. -94
