1) You'll have to get raid of the fraction by multiplying 10ac by 11, x/11 by 11 which the 11's cancels out and -3 multiplied by 11 .
2)Now you have 10ac -x = -33. Add x on both sides of the equal sign you get 10ac = -33 + x
3) Divide both sides by 10c to get "a" by itself, so "a" = -33+x divided by 10c

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
6(x - 2) = 36
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Divide 6 on both sides: x - 2 = 6
- Add 2 on both sides: x = 8

Answer:
Dimensions of printed area
w = 8.95 cm
h = 13.44 cm
A(max) = 120.28 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets call " x " and "y" dimensions of the poster area ( wide and height respectively) . Then
A(t) = 180 cm² = x*y y = 180/ x
And the dimensions of printed area is
A(p) = ( x - 2 ) * ( y - 3 ) then as y = 180/x we make A function of x only so
A(x) = ( x - 2 ) * ( 180/x - 3 ) ⇒ A(x) = 180 - 3x - 360/x +6
A(x) = - 3x - 360 /x + 186
Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation we get:
A´(x) = -3 + 360/ x²
A´(x) = 0 -3 + 360/ x² = 0 -3x² + 360 = 0
x² = 120 ⇒ x = √120 x = 10.95 cm
And y = 180 / 10.95 ⇒ y = 16.44 cm
Then x and y are the dimensions of the poster then according to problem statement
w of printed area is x - 2 = 10.95 - 2 = 8.95 cm
and h of printed area is y - 3 = 16.44 - 3 = 13.44 cm
And the largest printed area is w * h = ( 8.95)*(13.44)
A(max) = 120.28 cm²
