Answer:
Option c $1436.70
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that room is a square, and each sides = 15 ft. 6 inches
Since 15 ft. 6 inches = 186 inches or 15.5 feet
Area of square = Length × width
Area of the room = 15.5 × 15.5 = 240.25 square feet.
Cost to have the floor refinished per square foot = $5.98
Total cost for the room = 240.25 × 5.98 = 1436.695 rounded to $1436.70
Total cost for refinished would be $1436.70
r = -1/2
3(5 + 4r) = -18r
15 +12r = -18r by distributive property
15 = -12r - 18r
15 = -30r
r = - 1/2r
