Equation #1: x+y=40

Equation #2: 7x+4y=193

Monica bought 11 red bricks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of one red brick = $7

Cost of one gray brick = $4

Total spent on bricks = $193

Total bricks bought = 40

Let,

x represents the number of red bricks bought.

y represents the number of gray bricks bought.

What is the system that models this situation?

Equation #1: x+y=40

Equation #2: 7x+4y=193

How many red bricks did Monica purchase?

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 4

4(x+y=40)\\4x+4y=160\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

(7x+4y)-(4x+4y)=193-160\\7x+4y-4x-4y=33\\3x=33

Dividing both sides by 3

\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{33}{3}\\x=11

Monica bought 11 red bricks.

Mr Floyd is laying grass squares in his backyard. He will cover the entire yard except for the vegetable garden. How many square
Alenkasestr [34]

Here we can first find the area of yard and then subtract the area of vegetable garden to get the required area.

The formula to find area is given by:

A = l* w

Now we find area of yard:

length is 25 ft and width is 15 ft.

A = 25 * 15

Area of yard = 375 ft²

Area of vegetable garden:

length = 8ft and width =8ft

So the vegetable garden is a square.

Area = 8*8

Area of vegetable garden =64 ft²

Area of backyard to be laid with grass = Area of yard-Area of vegetable garden

Area required = 375 -64 = 311 ft²

Answer : The area of backyard in which grass is to be laid is 311 square feet.
