He can make 15 chess boards.
All you need to do is multiply 3 by 5.
5x=2x+24
5x-2x=24
3x=24
x=24/3
x=8
Now you can verify by putting 8 in the x :)
Answer:
Option C. 
Step-by-step explanation:
we have

Solve for x
That means ---> isolate the variable x
Multiply by 8 both sides to remove the fractions

Multiply by -1 both sides
Remember that
When you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality symbol

Divide by 5 both sides

Answer:
Therefore,
The length of the sides of the squares is

Step-by-step explanation:
Let "x" be the length of Cut Square,
As the tin size(Dimension) is
20 cm × 50 cm
So the size(Dimension) of box will be
(20 - 2x) × (50 - 2x)
Length = 50 - 2x
Width = 20 - 2x
Area of base of box = 216 cm²
To Find:
x = ?
Solution:
Area of Rectangular field is given by

Substituting the values we get

Applying Distributive property we get


Dividing throughout by 4 we get

On Factorizing we get

As x cannot be 28 because tin size is 20 cm × 50 cm i.e longer than 20
Therefore,

Therefore,
The length of the sides of the squares is

Or, is it asking you to subtract the? In that case
5/4 - 3/8 = 7/8
