A printer wants to put 54 square inches of text into a rectangle on an 8 by 11 sheet of paper. She wants the text to be surrounded by a border of constant width. Which equation could be used to find the width of the border (x)?

after simplifying it i got: -36.25 as my answer. hope that !

step-by-step explanation:

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116

it is x equals 3   plese mark me really need it
