Answer:

x=-7

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply both sides by 10

its gonna be 25x+100=10x-5

subtract 100 from both. 25x=10x-105

subtract 10x from both. 15x= -105

divide both by 15. x=-7

Answer:

legs limit the number of chairs that can be built

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum number of chairs that can be built will be the minimum of the number of parts divided by the number of parts needed for each chair, as computed across the different kinds of parts required.

seats: 12 available, used 1 per chair: 12/1 = 12 chairs possible

backs: 15 available, used 1 per chair: 15/1 = 15 chairs possible

legs: 44 available, used 4 per chair: 44/4 = 11 chairs possible

The maximum number of chairs that can be built will be the minimum of 12, 15, and 11. That is, 11 chairs can be built, limited by the number of available legs.
