You guys need to use units in your calculations, because all it looks like to me is you used the convenience of knowing the answer to derive the calculations.
The units are in the word problem posted. The numbers match the word problem numbers. There's really no need to duplicate work. Efficiency 101.

48-36 = 12 /wk
12 x 10 weeks = 120 + 40 you started with = 160
12 x 10 weeks = 120 + 40 you started with = 160

I suck at math, but this is easy man.
You start with a 40 glove surplus, and you have a surplus of 12 gloves per week; you're trying to get 160 surplus. 160-40=120, so you're trying to see how many weeks it will take you to get 120 surplus gloves, when you get 12 surplus gloves per week.

The correct answer is the store needs to hire a new purchasing agent.

Makes you wonder how Exxon / Cities Service plant operators make $375k a year?

40 + 48x -36x = 160,
48x - 36x = 160 - 40
48x - 36x = 120
12x = 120
x = 120/12
x = 10
48x - 36x = 160 - 40
48x - 36x = 120
12x = 120
x = 120/12
x = 10

All you formula people give me a headache. I just do problems logically, screw writing all this formula nonsense.

We learn to write formulas for easy problems so that we know how to do it for harder problems that can't just be solved "logically" or simply.

I hate math
Luckily I don't have to perform anything with formulas in my line of work.

What is your career?
It hurts my head to think of a professional adult not being able to figure this problem out.
I guess as long as you don't work with numbers...
