There isnt enough information to solve the question, answer is E.
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x = the number of phone available
If it would require 8 more phones, then the total number of phones will be x + 8.
A company hired an additional 12 employees, and every employee needed a phone, then
x + 8 = 12
x = 4
This means 4 phones were available (and 8 more needed to total in 12 phones for 12 new employees)
Hence, correct option is option A.

Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The complete question in the attached figure</em></u>
Part 1) Write an expression for the perimeter of the shape
we know that
The figure is composed by a larger square, a rectangle and a smaller square
1) The area of the larger square is given

so
The length and the width of the larger square is x units
2) The area of the rectangle is given

so
The length of the rectangle is x units and the width is 1 unit
3) The length and the width of the smaller square is x units
see the attached figure N 2 to better understand the problem
Find out the perimeter
The perimeter is the sum of all the sides.
so


Part 2) Find the perimeter for each of the given values of x.
a) For x=7 units
Substitute the value of x in the expression of the perimeter

b) For x=5.5 units
Substitute the value of x in the expression of the perimeter

b) For x=7/3 units
Substitute the value of x in the expression of the perimeter
