STEP 1:
convert meters to centimeters
100 cm= 1 meter
= 100 cm/m * 2.5 m
= 250 cm
STEP 2:
x= length of first shelf
2x+18= length of second shelf
x-12= length of third shelf
x+4= length of fourth shelf
since the whole board has to be used, add lengths of all shelves and set it equal to the whole length of the board (250 cm).
x + (2x+18) + (x-12) + (x+4)= 250 cm
combine like terms
5x + 10= 250
subtract both sides by 10
5x= 240
divide both sides by 5
x= 48
STEP 3:
find length of second shelf
= 2x + 18
= 2(48) + 18
= 114 cm
CHECK:
x + (2x+18) + (x-12) + (x+4)= 250
48 + (2(48)+18) + (48-12) + (48+4)= 250
48 + (96+18) + 36 + 52= 250
48 + 114 + 36 + 52= 250
250= 250
ANSWER: Shelf two is 114 cm.

Answer:
x<12
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your inequality step-by-step.
−3<
x/
−4
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the inequality.
−3<
−1/
4
x
Step 2: Flip the equation.
−1/
4
x>−3
Step 3: Multiply both sides by 4/(-1).

/−1
)*(−3)
x<12
Answer:
x<12
So... get the like-terms and add/subtract
see what that gives you
Only the dividend is stated. there's no divisor
1 2 3 4 & 5 would be the answers!
