Question

It takes 70 inches of ribbon to make a bow and wrap the ribbon around a box. The bow takes 32 inches of ribbon. The width of the box is 14 inches. What is the height of the box

Answer 1

You need two sides so you can rewrite it as:
2x = 70-(14+32)
2x = 24
x = 24/2
x = 12

The height is 12in.

Hope this helps! :)
