That'd be 20(p-3). Check by multiplying out 20(p-3)
Answer: -7
Step-by-step explanation:
-3x - 5 = 16 (add 5 to 16)
-3x = 21 (divide by -3)
x = -7
The area of the top of the table is 28 × 20 = 560 cm2. The area of Patty’s tiles is 8 cm2 each and the area of Jake’s tiles is 9 cm2 each. Patty will need 560 ÷ 8, or 70, tiles. Jake will need 560 ÷ 9, or about 63, tiles. So, Patty will use about 7 more tiles.
