So, we were given 2 variables, x and y. The amount of money that Margot has saved up, $375, and the cost of each piece of wood, $3.

So, if Margot buys x pieces of wood, it would cost her 3x (3 times x) dollars, and to find the remaining money, simply subtract what she had earlier to it. So the equation will be.

y = 375-3x

Hope this helps!

What method most efficient to use to solve x^2+4x+3=0

Alik [6]

My recommendation would be to factor..
x² + 4x + 3 = 0 factor the left side into two binomials
(x + 3)(x + 1) = 0 set each of these binomials equal to zero and solve

x + 3 = 0 Implies x = -3
x + 1 = 0 implies x = -1

Answer:

Refer below

Step-by-step explanation:

Installation fee equation will be added onto the original equation

So g = base cost + percent cost + $100

(Cost of carpet) ---> g = $7.5x + ($7.5x * 0.05) + $100

Plug in 150 into the formula that gives you $1281.25
