Answer:
A. -61/9
Step-by-step explanation:
(7x + 28) + (7x +28) = 5x - 5 . . . . . . . given equation

Answer: 4
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 2y =10
x = 10 + 2y
... cancel like terms (y + 5)
= 4
When you solve proportions, you have to cross multiply.
9 x
--- = --- Multiply each numerator by the opposite denominator.
11 22
(9)(22) = 11x Then, multiply.
198 = 11x Then, divide.
18 = x

<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
