The problem says that the expression (3x + 5)(5x − 1) <span>represents the area of the floor of the building in square meters. Therefore, to solve this problem you have to follow the proccedure shown below.
1. First, to simplify the expression (3x + 5)(5x − 1) you must apply the distributive property. Then, you obtain:
15x</span>²-3x+25x-5
2. Then, you have:
15x²+22x-5
3. As you can see, the correct answer is the last option: 15x²+22x-5
In the order of PEMDAS
the first thing you would do is divide 18/3 = 6
then multiply 6 x 4 = 24
then add 24 + 6 = 30
One meter is composed of approximately 3.28 feet. To convert a certain measure in feet to meter, divide the number by 3.28. From the given above, using dimensional analysis and the conversion factor,
(750 ft) x (1 m/ 3.28 ft) = 228.66 m
Thus, 750 ft is approximately 228.66 in meters.
x-0.1x=36
where x is the original price
0.1x is the discount (10% of the original price)
36 is the price paid
x-0.1x=36
0.9x=36
----- ----
0.9 0.9
x=40
The original price is $40.00
