7a+20b = 28-b
7a = 28-b-20b
7a = 28-21b
a= 28/7 - 21/7 b = 4-3b

Answer:
you can simplify rations just like you simplify fractions. Whenever you are able to evenly divide both parts of the ratio with out changing the equation's answer, you are able to.
for example
if it were 3:6, you can simplify this by dividing these both by 3, leaving you with 1:2.
Answer:
280
Step-by-step explanation:
first make a proportion. 7 over 250= x over 10,000. cross multiply to get 250x=70,000. 70,000 divided by 250 which gets you 280.
My vote would be b. because generally when we are figuring area of a room, we are working with materials that are not exact and we usually round off .75 to the next foot. (I have experience in flooring!)
I am sure there are situations where you would want it to be exact however, such as using VERY expensive materials to cover.
