Question

Avni designs a game in which a player either wins or loses 4 points during each turn. Which equation represents all numbers of points, p, a player may have after his or her first turn of the game?Mr. Vazquez determines that the area of a bathroom in his house is 25 square feet less than 1/5 of the area of the living room. If the bathroom measures 35 square feet, what is the area of the living room?

Answer 1

Answer:

p = -4 or p = 4

300 sq. ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first question since it is only the first turn for the player in the game he could only have won or lost 4 points. Therefore the equation would be the following.

p = -4 or p = 4

in the second question we need to calculate the area of the living room, which can be calculated using the following equation by implementing the values given to us in the question.

$\frac{1}{5}a - 25 = 35$ ... add 25 to both sides

$\frac{1}{5}a = 60$  ... divide 1/5 by both sides

$a = 300$$sq ft.$

finally, we can see that the area of the living room is 300 sq. ft.
