Answer:

42

Step-by-step explanation:

In short, the sum of the opposite areas are equal.

x + 30 = 24 + 48

x = 42

To prove this, draw a line from each corner to the "center" where the four lines meet.  Along each side of the square are two triangles.  These triangles have the same base and the same height, and therefore have the same area.

If we say the triangles at the bottom have area a, the triangles on the left have area b, the triangles on top have area c, and the triangles on the right have area d, then we can write 4 equations:

a + b = x

b + c = 24

c + d = 30

a + d = 48

Adding the first and third equations:

a + b + c + d = x + 30

Adding the second and fourth equations:

a + b + c + d = 24 + 48

Therefore:

x + 30 = 24 + 48

x = 42

This site i have found lets people give one another answers so unless this person and some army is planning on stopping everyone from giving answers i think they should just stop using this site.

Designer Dolls found that its number of Dress-Up Dolls sold, N, varies directly with their advertising budget, A, and inversely
Radda [10]

Answer:

25,600

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the rule of three considering that the number of dolls sold varies directly with the advertising budget:

$54,000    →   9,600

$144,000   →       x

x=\frac{144,000*9,600}{54,000}

x=25,600

According to this, the number of dolls sold if the amount of advertising budget is increased to $144,000 is 25,600.
