Johnny and Caroline drew a rectangle with the perimeter of 22 inches. The lengths and widths of both rectangles are positive while numbers. Under these conditions, Johnny's rectangle has the greatest possible area, and Caroline's rectangle has the smallest possible area. By how many square inches does the area of Johnny's rectangle exceed the area of Caroline's rectangle?

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

x=5

step-by-step explanation:

75

step-by-step explanation:

you do x-29=46 (the number of cantaloupes sold)

in order to find x, you have to find what minus 29 equals 46, meaning you'd have to add 29 to 46.

29+46=75

if you replace x with 75, the equation looks like:

75-29=46

x=75
