Answer:

  x = 41 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

(2 1/2)x -(3/4)(2x +5) = 38

(2 1/2)x -(1 1/2)x -15/4 = 38 . . . . use the distributive property

x = 38 +3 3/4 . . . . . . add 15/4

x = 41 3/4

_____

Another way to solve this is to "clear fractions" by multiplying the whole equation by 4:

  10x -3(2x +5) = 152

  4x -15 = 152 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  4x = 167 . . . . . . . add 15

  x = 41 3/4 . . . . . . divide by 4

The length is 12, because if it's 9 inches wide it has two sides of 9 inches which is 18. Then subtract that from the intial value 42 to get 24. After, you divide 24 by 2 due to there being 2 sides of the box and 24 is the sum of both sides. Hopethis helps!

Set up a proportion.  take 3/6 = 20/x
Cross multiply 3 * x = 6 * 20
Simplify  3x = 120
Divide by 3  x = 40
So the denominator of the bottom fraction is 40
