Answer:
X= blue tiles
Y = red tiles
X/y = 4/21
X+y= 425
Y= 357 tiles
X= 68 tiles
Step-by-step explanation:
red and blue ceramic tiles are laid according to a pattern.
The pattern= every 21 red tiles used, 4 blue tiles are used
Total number of tiles used = 425 tiles
X= blue tiles
Y = red tiles
X/y = 4/21
X+y= 425
21x= 4y
X= 4y/21
X+y= 425
4y/21 + y = 425
25y= 425(21)
Y=( 425*21)/25
Y= 357 tiles
X= 4y/21
X= (4*357)/21
X= 1428/21
X= 68 tiles
X represents the length of a deck. There are three parts to this equations. The 1. width, 2. the length, and 3. the 5 feet shorter. Using the key words, y = the width of a deck (uses the term is which means =) So that takes the width part out of the equation. Then, 5 feet shorter means -5 than a number. That takes away the 5 feet shorter part of the equation. That leaves x to equal the length of the deck.
