Answer:
6x + 12 27
Step-by-step explanation:
x is defined as the average number of pounds Fido will gain each month. You multiply x by 6, as this is the amount of months you are calculating for, to get the amount of weight that Fido will gain in the next 6 months. You add this value to 12, as this was Fido's starting weight. You use the "greater than or equal to" sign because he is going to weigh at least 27 pounds, which means 27 at the minimum, and potentially more.

First we have to assume that each quarter touched each other. Hence the area of the table not covered by the coins (A) is equal to the total area of the table (At) minus the total area of the coins (Ac). Coins are circle, so 
and r =24.26mm. The area of one coin is then 1848.98mm^2. Hence the equation is A = At - xAc where x is the number of coins.
