Answer:
30 in^2
Step-by-step explanation:
When you reduce the total size by 0.5, the total area is divided by 4.
P = perimeter
Perimeter of a rectangle = l + l + w + w
or P = 2l + 2w
You know:
P = 150 m
l = w + 5 [length is 5 m greater than the width]
P = 2l + 2w Plug in what you know
150 = 2(w + 5) + 2w Simplify, distribute/multiply 2 into (w + 5)
150 = 2w + 10 + 2w
150 = 4w + 10 Subtract 10 to both sides of the equation
140 = 4w Divide 4 on both sides
35 = w
PROOF l = w + 5 ---> l = 40
P = 2l + 2w
150 = 2(40) + 2(35)
150 = 80 + 70
150 = 150

Answer:
Value of given expression x is -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation in question;
4 + 2|3x + 4| = -4
Find:
Value of given expression
Computation:
4 + 2|3x + 4| = -4
Using BODMAS rule;
⇒ 4 + 2|3x + 4| = -4
⇒ 2|3x + 4| = - 4 - 4
⇒ 2|3x + 4| = - 8
⇒ |3x + 4| = - 8 / 2
⇒ |3x + 4| = - 4
⇒ 3x + 4 = - 8
⇒ 3x = -8 - 4
⇒ 3x = -12
⇒ x = -12 / 3
⇒ x = -4
Value of given expression x is -4
2/5 were sold in the morning. This is equal to 40% of the total. That leaves 60% leftover.
3/4 were sold in the afternoon. This is equal to 75% of the 60% leftover or 45% of the total (.6x.75).
The difference between the two sales is 24 cartons or 5% (45%-40%). If 5% is equal to 24 then you can cross multiply to see what is the equivalent number of cartons out of 100%.
5/100 = 24/x
5x = 24(100)
5x = 2400
x = 480
ANSWER: 480 cartons
