Answer:
$6,797.09
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the floor is ...
(21 ft)(28 ft) = 588 ft²
Then the cost of the carpet material is ...
(588 ft²)($10.45/ft²) = $6,144.60
The subtotal with installation fee is ...
$6,144.60 +149.00 = $6,293.60
Adding the sales tax multiplies this amount by 1 +8% = 1.08, so the final price is ...
1.08 × $6,293.60 = $6,797.09 . . . total price
To solve for m we want to get m by itself on one side of the equals sign, with everything else on the other side. First we subtract b from both sides, to get it out of the right side of the equation:
y - b = mx + b - b
y - b = mx
Now we divide both sides by x, to get m completely by itself:
(y-b)/x = (mx)/x
(y-b)/x = m
So m is equal to (y-b)/x.
To subtract? as minus means subract/take away?
