Answer:
F(n) = 8.5*n yards, where n is the number of windows
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose the house of Stephen's aunt has n windows.
Since he needs 8.5 yards of fabric for each window, then he needs 8.5 times n yards of fabric for the n windows.
Call F(n) the yards of fabric he needs for the n windows, then
F(n) = 8.5*n
For example, if auntie's house had 4 windows, then
F(4) = 8.5*4 = 34 yards.
If auntie's house had 6 windows
F(6) = 51 yards.
1. Simplify both sides
−6n=−5−5n
−6n=−5+−5n
−6n=−5n−5
2. Add 5n to both sides
−6n+5n=−5n−5+5n
−n=−5
3. Divide both sides by -1.
−n
/−1
=
−5
/−1
n=5
So the variable n, is equal to 5
