Solve: 4x + 6 = 8x - 18

x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+6=8x+18

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand  

4x+6=8x+18

We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.  

+4x-8x=+18-6

We simplify left and right side of the equation.  

-4x=+12

We divide both sides of the equation by -4 to get x.  

x=-3

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
