Answer: x = 6
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
2[3x - (4x - 6)] = 5(x - 6)
2[3x - 4x + 6] = 5x - 30
2[-x + 6] = 5x - 30
-2x + 12 = 5x - 30
<u>+2x </u> <u>+2x </u>
12 = 7x - 30
<u>+30 </u> <u> +30 </u>
42 = 7x

6 = x
Answer:
525 x 1,050
A = 551,250 m²
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'L' be the length parallel to the river and 'S' be the length of each of the other two sides.
The length of the three sides is given by:

The area of the rectangular plot is given by:

The value of 'S' for which the area's derivate is zero, yields the maximum total area:

Solving for 'L':

The largest area enclosed is given by dimension of 525 m x 1,050 and is:

I'm assuming your trying to find how much pizza he has left.
You need to subtract the two fractions because the denominators are already the same.
When subtracting fractions, you leave the denominator and regularly subtract the numerator.
Your answer will be 2/8 which equals 1/4th
