The question is basically asking you to calculate the new volume of the box that is 12x 7.5 x 2.5inches and to see if it has a larger volume than 162.5 sqin.
If you calculate the volume you should get 225 square inches.
X = -15 because first u move the ax’s to one side so it would be 3x-5x=25+5 then u calculate each side 3x-5x= -2x and 25+5=30 so -2x=30 and then u divide both sides by -2 and -2/-2 cancels out and 30/-2 equals -15 (I hope his helps) :))
(2/3) / 3 = 1/x...2/3 to 3 lawns = 1 to x lawns
cross multiply
(2/3)(x) = (3)(1)
2/3x = 3
x = 3 * 3/2
x = 9/2 or 4 1/2 lawns can be cut with a full tank of gas
2(7÷10)×1÷3+4÷15=1.4×0.33+0.267
=0.462+0.267
=0.729(0.73)
