A new born beluga weighs 6 times as much as a newborn muskox.
Start with an equation.
Nine less... so -9
3 times a number = 3x
Greater than 40 is >40
So put together is 3x-9>40
When solving I imaging the greater than sign as an equal sign. Less confusing.
3x-9=40
3x=49
x>49/3
Questions:
A clothing manufacturer uses the model a = √(f + 4) - √(36 - f) to estimate the amount of fabric to order from a mill. In the formula, a is the number of apparel items (in hundreds) and f is the number of units of fabric needed. If 400 apparel items will be manufactured , how many units of fabric should be ordered?
Answer:
32 units of fabrics
Step-by-step explanation:

or 
f can not be 0 because some units must be ordered.
So, f = 32
C because 43 divided by 50 is 0.86
