The area of the postcard pictured below is 24 square inches. What is the width b of the message section (in inches)? Pick the equation that would best model this situation. A. 4(b + 3) = 24
B. 3(4 + b) = 24
C. 4(b - 3) = 24
D. 3(b - 4) = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

4(b + 3) = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Area is equal to length times width. In this case, the length is b + 3 (since both b and 3 are part of the width, with the length being 4.

Substitute into the equation for area:

a = lw

a = 4(b + 3)

The area is 24, so the final answer is:

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≥ x ≥ 40;

step-by-step explanation:

walter has to make a minimum of 20 cookies. he already has 15 cookies made, so he must make 5 more to meet the minimum.

the maximum amount of cookies he can make is 55. he already has 15, so he has to make no more than 40 more cookies to meet the maximum.
