A school custodian waxed a gymnasium floor that measured 20feet by 20 feet. How many square feet did she have to wax

1 answer:

8 0

Here the dimension of the waxed gymnasium floor is given which is 20 feet by 20 feet. It means the floor is of square shape . And we need to find how many square feet she have to wax. Here square feet is given, which means we have to find the area. SO we need to find the area of the gymansium floor . And area of square is side square. So area of gymnasium floor = 20 ft times 20 ft = 400 square feet .

What value of b will cause the system to have an infinite

kvasek [131]

Hi there!

The way that an infinite number of solutions is achieved is when the two equations, when solved together, get an answer which is just a number equal to the same number. To do this, first substitute 6x-b in for y in the second equation.

$-3x+\frac{1}{2}(6x-b)=-3$

$-3x+3x-\frac{1}{2}b=-3$

$-\frac{1}{2}b=-3$

Now, we see that b needs to be equal to -3 when multiplied by -1/2. When both sides are divided by -1/2, b becomes equal to 6. Thus, b must be 6.

$6x-6=y$
