first transform feet into inches 4.5 feet = 48.5 inches; 5.5 feet = 60.5 inches;

then get the area in inches : 48.5 x 60.5 = 2934.25 inches; the area of one patch is 18 x 24 = 432 inches

so now divide the area of the desktop by the area of one patch

2934.25 / 432 = 6.7 so she needs 7 patches

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{5x - 2}{4}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3y+2}{2}

Multiply the equation by 4

4*\frac{5x - 2}{4}+4*\frac{1}{2}=4*\frac{3y+2}{2}\\

5x - 2 + 2 = 2*(3y + 2)

5x +0 = 2*3y + 2*2

5x = 6y + 4

5x - 6y = 4 --------------------(I)

\frac{7y+3}{3}=\frac{x}{2}+\frac{7}{3}\\

Multiply the equation by 6

6*\frac{7y+3}{3}=6*\frac{x}{2}+6*\frac{7}{3}\\

2*(7y + 3) = 3x + 2*7

14y + 6 = 3x + 14

14y = 3x + 14 - 6

14y = 3x + 8

-3x + 14y = 8 ------------------------(II)

Multiply equation (I) by 3 and equation (II) by 5 and then add

(I)*3              15x - 18y = 12

(II)*5           <u>-15x  + 70y = 40</u>     {Now add}

                          52y = 52

                              y = 52/52

                            y = 1

Substitute y =1 in equation (I)

5x - 6*1 =  4

5x - 6 = 4

      5x = 4 +6

      5x = 10

         x = 10/5

x = 2

Simplify this algebraic expression completely. 10y – 3(y + 5) A. 7y – 15 B. 7y – 5 C. 7y + 2 D. 7y + 5
Kipish [7]
Hey! :)

10y-3(y+5)

Distribute the -3. 

-3*y= -3y  -3*5= -15

10y-3y-15

7y-15

"A" is the answer.

Gaetano spent $37.80, including tax, on a pair of jeans. How much did the jeans cost if there was an 8% sales tax?
Fiesta28 [93]
<span>1.       </span><span>Gaetano spent 37.80 dollars including the tax for a pair of jeans
=> the tax is 8%, how much is the original cost of a pair of jeans?
=> 8% = 8/100
=> .08
Now, multiply .08 by 37.80 to get the 8% of 37.80
=> 37.80 x .08
=> 3.024 – this is the tax of a pair of jeans.
now, let’s subtract 3.024 by 37.80 to get the actual price of a pair of jeans.
=> 37.80 – 3.024
=> 34.776 – the original price of a pair of jeans without tax.
