<h2>Answer:</h2>

The length of the three yards when they are placed end to end is:

                     14.125 yards.

( Since, Length of first strip = 3.5 yards.

Length of Second strip = 4.375 yards.

Length of Third strip = 6.25 yards.  )

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

It is given that:

3 strips of 2 yard wide outdoor carpet are used to cover a sidewalk.

  • One is 3.5 yards long.
  • Second is 25 percent longer than the first.

i.e. the length of the second strip is: 3.5+25% of 3.5

i.e.

Length of second strip= 3.5+0.25×3.5

i.e.

Length of second strip= 4.375 yards

  • Also, the third is 6 1/4 yards long.

i.e. The length of third strip is:

6\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{25}{4}\ yards=6.25\ yards

Hence, the total length of three carpets is:

  3.5+4.375+6.25= 14.125 yards.

Why would "-7" in the expression (x^2+3)-(x-7) become positive?
ryzh [129]
You would use the distributive property with the negative. So the second x becomes negative, but since the 7 is already negative it becomes positive. Think of it as if you put the two dashes together you can make a plus sign.
