Let W = width of package
Let H = height of package
Let L = length of package
The perimeter cab be one of the following:
P = 2(L + W), or
P = 2(L + H)
The perimeter of the cross section cannot exceed 108 in.
When the width is 10 in, then
2(L + 10) <= 108
L + 10 <= 54
L <= 44 in
When the height is 15 in, then
2(L + 15) <= 108
L + 15 <= 54
L <= 39 in
To satisfy both of these conditions requires that L <= 39 in.
Answer: 39 inches
3(x + 7) = 9(x - 1)
3(x) + 3(7) = 9(x) - 9(1)
3x + 21 = 9x - 9
<u>- 3x - 3x </u>
21 = 3x - 9
<u>+ 9 + 9</u>
<u>30</u> = <u>3x</u>
3 3
10 = x
Answer: 5/2, 2.71, 2 3/4 , 5
Answer:
The last one: 70/100 = x/80
And 56 free throws.
Explanation:
70% is 70 out of 100. And if the player is free throwing a total of 80 times, then 80 is 100% of the free throws. Both of the values that represent 100% are the denominators in the fractions.

The equations are equal, and whatever you do to the bottom, you have to do to the top. 100 was multiplied by 4/5 to get 80. So 70 is multiplied by 4/5 to get x.
4/5 * 70 is 56
