Answer:
<em>x = 12</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Angles and Lines</u>
The figure attached below has been completed with the angle y to support the calculations to come.
The sum of the interior angles of a rectangle is 180°. Applying on triangle PQR:
30 + 4x + 2 + y = 180
Simplifying:
32 + 4x + y = 180
Solving for y:
y = 180 - 32 - 4x
y = 148 - 4x
Angles y and 8 + 6x are a linear pair, i.e. their sum is 180°, thus:
y + 8 + 6x = 180
Substituting y from the equation above:
148 - 4x + 8 + 6x = 180
Simplifying:
156 + 2x = 180
Dividing by 2:
78 + x = 90
Subtracting 78:
x = 90 - 78
x = 12

This is a problem where you should make an equation.
Let's say x is the first week. It would mean
First Week : x
Second Week : x + 5
Third Week : 2(x+5)
You need to add these up to make your equation. Your equation will look something like this :
Now you simplify.
That means they sold 104 Boxes in the First Week.
So they sold 109 Boxes the Second Week.
109 x 2 = 218
And they sold 218 Boxes the Third Week.
