Step-by-step explanation:
The total change in yards the team lost was 11
Simplifying
(0.75x + 6) + -1(2.5x + -1.9) = 0
Reorder the terms:
(6 + 0.75x) + -1(2.5x + -1.9) = 0
Remove parenthesis around (6 + 0.75x)
6 + 0.75x + -1(2.5x + -1.9) = 0
Reorder the terms:
6 + 0.75x + -1(-1.9 + 2.5x) = 0
6 + 0.75x + (-1.9 * -1 + 2.5x * -1) = 0
6 + 0.75x + (1.9 + -2.5x) = 0
Reorder the terms:
6 + 1.9 + 0.75x + -2.5x = 0
Combine like terms: 6 + 1.9 = 7.9
7.9 + 0.75x + -2.5x = 0
Combine like terms: 0.75x + -2.5x = -1.75x
7.9 + -1.75x = 0
Solving
7.9 + -1.75x = 0
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-7.9' to each side of the equation.
7.9 + -7.9 + -1.75x = 0 + -7.9
Combine like terms: 7.9 + -7.9 = 0.0
0.0 + -1.75x = 0 + -7.9
-1.75x = 0 + -7.9
Combine like terms: 0 + -7.9 = -7.9
-1.75x = -7.9
Divide each side by '-1.75'.
x = 4.514285714
Simplifying
x = 4.514285714
First, we calculate the area of one paver. This is:
12 x 12 = 144 square feet
Now, the number of pavers required may be determined by dividing the total surface area to be covered by the surface area of one paver, as:
number of pavers = 600 / 144
Number of pavers = 4.2
Because 0.2 pavers can not be obtained, 5 pavers are needed to completely cover 600 square feet.
