Answer:
10-2x
Step-by-step explanation:
If x is the length of one side of the square, the total width of the cardboard has two squares cut from it. The amount of width remaining is the width of the box. Since the original width of the cardboard is 10, the width of the box is ...
10 -2x
The original answer for that question would be 303.55. The best estimate when you round to the nearest tenth the approximate answer would be 303.6 because the 5 in the hundredths place rounds the 5 in the tenths place to a 6. So the approximate answer would be 303.6....hope this helps.
STEP 1:
convert meters to centimeters
100 cm= 1 meter
= 100 cm/m * 2.5 m
= 250 cm
STEP 2:
x= length of first shelf
2x+18= length of second shelf
x-12= length of third shelf
x+4= length of fourth shelf
since the whole board has to be used, add lengths of all shelves and set it equal to the whole length of the board (250 cm).
x + (2x+18) + (x-12) + (x+4)= 250 cm
combine like terms
5x + 10= 250
subtract both sides by 10
5x= 240
divide both sides by 5
x= 48
STEP 3:
find length of second shelf
= 2x + 18
= 2(48) + 18
= 114 cm
CHECK:
x + (2x+18) + (x-12) + (x+4)= 250
48 + (2(48)+18) + (48-12) + (48+4)= 250
48 + (96+18) + 36 + 52= 250
48 + 114 + 36 + 52= 250
250= 250
ANSWER: Shelf two is 114 cm.
