a nerds box is 3x/10 width
and 3 1/2 cm in length. simplify the area
3x/10 * 7/2 = 21x/20
does x=1? that always throws me off
who knows? x is a variable. Use whatever value is required in a specific calculation.
To simplify the area of a nerds box that has a width of 3x/10 and a length of 3 1/2 cm, we need to multiply the width and the length together.
First, let's convert the length to a fraction.
3 1/2 = (3 * 2 + 1)/2 = 7/2
Now, we can compute the area of the box by multiplying the width and the length:
Area = (3x/10) * (7/2)
To simplify this expression, we can multiply the numerators together and the denominators together separately:
Area = (3 * 7 * x)/(10 * 2)
Simplifying further:
Area = (21x)/(20)
Therefore, the simplified area of the nerds box is (21x)/(20).
