Acompany has determined that it must increase production of a certain line of goods by 112 times last years production. the new output will be 2885 items. what was last year's output?

26 items

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denotes the last year's output.

Given : A company has determined that it must increase production of a certain line of goods by 112 times last years production.

The new output will be 2885 items.

According to the above statement we have the following equation :-

Divide both sides by 112, we get

Hence, the  last year's output =26 items

13

step-by-step explanation:

169-1=168

168-3=165

165-5=160

160-7=153

153-9=144

144-11=133

133-13=120

120-15=105

105-17=88

88-19=69

69-21=48

48-23=25

25-25=0

since it took 13times to completely subtract it hence its square root is 13
