1/2(x - 3) = 2/3(x - 8)

<em><u>Distributive property on both sides.</u></em>

0.5x - 1.5 = 0.7x -5.3

<em><u>Add 5.3 to both sides.</u></em>

0.5x + 3.8 = 0.7x

<em><u>Subtract 0.5x from both sides.</u></em>

3.8 = 0.2x

<em><u>Multiply both sides by 5.</u></em>

x = 19 (This is your answer.)

Let me know if you have any other questions. :)

Collection of Chase = 27.34

Collection of Sydney = 9.83+27.34 = 37.17

Let ally's collection be = x

As Ally collects 4 times as much as Sydney so,

x= 4*(37.17) =148.68

If the surface area of the box in the diagram is 204.25 square feet, what is the value of ‘x’?
Alexandra [31]

Note: Consider x be the breadth of the box.

Given:

The surface area of the box is 204.25 square feet.

Length of the box = 10 ft

Breadth of the box = x ft

Height of the box = 6.5 ft

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

The surface area of a cuboid is:

SA=2(lb+bh+hl)

Where, l is length, b is breadth and h is height of the cuboid.

Putting SA=204.25,  l=10,\ b=x,\ h=6.5 in the above formula, we get

204.25=2(10\times x+x\times 6.5+6.5\times 10)

204.25=2(10x+6.5x+65)

204.25=2(16.5x+65)

Using distributive property, we get

204.25=2(16.5x)+2(65)

204.25=33x+130

204.25-130=33x

74.25=33x

Divide both sides by 33.

\dfrac{74.25}{33}=x

2.25=x

Therefore, the correct option is B.
