<em>My goodness, this is rather confusing in the way it is worded. Nevertheless, I will attempt to do what I can. Just please keep in mind that this is my own interpretation of the problem, and therefore could be... incorrect.</em>
<em>I think, to start out, we could set up the problem like so</em>
<em>15 + t ≥ 26</em>
<em>because t is not a set number. </em>
<em>Then all that is needed is to subtract 15 from both sides, and the equation becomes</em>
<em>t ≥ 11</em>
<em>So the resulting answer is t ≥ 11.</em>

<em>I hope that my interpretation helps.</em>

You are adding s^2 to your 128 ft^2. s^2 is a common representation of a square. So you could think of it as adding an area of a square of side "s" to your deck.
So one way of drawing it is to draw a rectangle with area 128 ft^2 and attaching a square to one of its side. The square that is attached has a side lenght of "s."
Answer:
$138,345
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a compound decline problem, which will be solve by the compound formula:

Where
F is the future value (value of house at 2030, 14 years from 2016)
P is the present value ($245,000)
r is the rate of decline, in decimal (r = 4% = 4/100 = 0.04)
t is the time in years (2016 to 2030 is 14 years, so t = 14)
We substitute the known values and find F:

Rounding it up, it will be worth around $138,345 at 2030
Answer:
Bag 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Bag 1:

Bag 2:

Required
Which is a better buy
To get which buy is better, we first get the unit price of each bag.

For bag 1:


For bag 2:


The best buy is the one with smaller unit price
Hence, bag 2 is better to buy
