Hi! I'm having trouble with my algebra homework. The second question (b) confused me, I don't understand what they are asking or

what to do. Can you please help me? Thanks!
question:

You are looking to carpet your bedroom. The area of your rectangular bedroom is given by the expression A=10x^2-50x.

a. What is the GCF of the binomial?

(I'm pretty sure the answer is 10 you don't have to help me with this.)

b. If the length of your bedroom is "five times x", what is the width?

(This is what is confusing me, please help.)

c. If the length of your bedroom is the GCF in part (a), what is the width?

A

Don't forget that you can also pull out an x besides the 10. The expression should look like this.

A(x) = 10x(x - 5)

The GCF is 10x

B

The area of the Bedroom = 10x ( x - 5)

If the length = 5x then the width is

A/L = 10x (x - 5)/(5x)= 2*(x - 5)

C

Now they are changing the Length to the GCF. We determined in A that the GCF = 10x

This time A/L = 10x(x - 5)/10x = (x - 5)

So the width = x - 5

Change the fraction to an equivalent fraction using multiplication.
sashaice [31]

Answer:

\frac{5}{7\\} * \frac{3}{3} = \frac{15}{21}

Step-by-step explanation:

To get an equivalent fraction, we multiply by a fraction that is equal to one. The purpose is to alter the denominator of the fraction. To get from a denominator of 7 to 21 we multiply by 3. Therefore we will multiply 5/7 by 3/3 to get the new equivalent fraction with a denominator of 21.

Danielle earns a 8.25% commission on everything she sells at the electronics store where she works. She also earns a base salary
Mariulka [41]

Answer: her sales last week was $4300.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent her her sales in a week.

Danielle earns a 8.25% commission on everything she sells at the electronics store where she works. This means that the commission she gets if she makes sales of $x is 0.0825x

She also earns a base salary of $675 per week. The expression for the total earnings for a week in which she made sales of $x would be

0.0825x + 675

if her total earnings for last week were $1,029.75, it means that

0.0825x + 675 = 1029.75

0.0825x = 1029.75 - 675

0.0825x = 1029.75 - 675

0.0825x = 354.75

x = 354.75/0.0825

x = $4300
