Answer:
x = 46
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 4 = 96
-4 -4
2x = 92
---- ----
2 2
92/2 = 46
x = 46
Yes because the larger the bottom number the smaller the amount. :)
1. The area of the full rectangle is 21 * 28 = 588. We will need this later.
Like you drew, there is an imaginary triangle missing. We can find the dimensions of it by subtracting from the given information. The shorter leg of it is 21 - 12 = 9, the longer leg is 28 - 14 = 14.
Now we find the area of the triangle. Area of a triangle is 1/2 * base * height. So 1/2 * 9 * 14 = 1/2 * 126 = 63.
Now we do the full area of 588 minus the area of the missing triangle piece.
588 - 63 = 525 ft²
2. Do the area of the rectangle and then this time add on the area of the triangle. 7 * 15 = 105. Area of the triangle = 1/2 * 2 * 7 = 1/2 * 14 = 7.
105 + 7 = 112 in²

Answer:
Calvin will paint the entire area in 92 minutes or 1 hour 32 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all we know that the total surface are that Calvin is painting is 115 square feet.
The rate at which Calvin is painting refers to the surface area he covers every 2 minutes. This is 2.5 square feet every 2 minutes.
we can set up a relation to solve this problem
If Calvin paints 
in 2 minutes
He will paint 
in 
minutes
By cross multiplying, we have 
Hence Calvin will paint the entire area in 92 minutes or 1 hour 32 minutes.
