Negative 1x minus 4x equals -4 minus 4x +4+5

X = - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The above word problem is mathematically interpreted thus:

-1X - 4X = -4 - 4X + 4 + 5

-5X = - 4 - 4X + 4 + 5

-5X = - 4 - 4X + 9

Collect like terms

-5X + 4X = - 4+ 9

-X = 5

X = - 5

the total estimated nappy use.=10,500,000

step-by-step explanation:

given that on an average the average baby uses 3528 napkins.

in a particular year 2014, the number of births were 299697 in new south wales.

rounding off the number of births to the nearest hundred thousand we have

no of birtsh = 300000

also rounding off the average usage to nearst thousand we get

average use of a baby = 3500

hence total number of nappy estimated to be used = 3500x300000

= 10,500,000

answer is 10,500,000 nappies
