Answer:
2. x = 47
3. x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
These problems involve proportions, or equivalent ratios. You can solve for 'x' in each by using cross-multiplication and division.
2. 28(7) = 4(x + 2)
Distribute = 196 = 4x + 8
Subtract 8 from both sides: 196 - 8 = 4x + 8 - 8 or 188 = 4x
Solve for x: x = 47
3. 2(2x + 7) = 11(3x - 4)
Distribute: 4x + 14 = 33x - 44
Add 44 to both sides: 4x + 14 + 44 = 33x - 44 + 44 or 4x + 58 = 33x
Subtract 4x from both sides: 4x + 58 - 4x = 33x - 4x or 58 = 29x
Solve for x: x = 2

Answer: 216 square feet</h3>
Work Shown:
Old area = 12*15 = 180 square feet
New area = 18*22 = 396 square feet
Difference = New - Old = 396 - 180 = 216
The patio's area increased by 216 square feet.
Ok so i just did 56/14 and got 4. So this means 14 goes into 56 4 times, so now i did 4 x 2 and got 8. So the answer is 8 free cones.
15y = 7x + 8
15y - 7x - 8 = 0
