You need to find x first but it has to be x×x-4x
2(4+2x)≥5x+5
4+2x≥5/2x+5/2 (divide both sides by 2)
3/2+2x≥5/2x (subtract 5/2 from both sides)
3/2≥1/2x (subtract 2x from both sides)
3≥x (multiply both sides by 2)
or x≤3
Hope this helps
Let the number of pants have to be made be x.
So,
9.55 * x = 525.00
x =

≈ 54.97
Thus, the number of pants have to be made are 54.
Yes Clare should switch because $96 + 12% is $107.52 but if she get the other one, it would be $105 in one year because $8.75 x 12 is $105
