You combine like terms. You could subtract the positive term from both sides and divide to get the variable alone

You combine the like terms by canceling out one side of the equation for the number with no variable, and the one with the variable, but they must be on different sides.

Then, you get the variable by itself, by dividing (in this equation, sometimes you will multiply, if there is a fraction)

Example:

4x - 1 = 2x + 7
+ 1 + 1

4x = 2x + 8
- 2x - 2x

2x = 8

2x /2 = 8 /2

x = 4

Compute the number of vinyl tiles, measuring 25 cm each side, needed to tile a kitchen measuring 102 ft. by 18 ft. Try not to ro

nadya68 [22]

Answer: 2730 tiles (Approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, The side length of each side = 25

According to the question the shape of the tile is square.

Thus, the area of one tile = 25 × 25 = 625 $cm^2$

Also, we need to tile a kitchen measuring 102 ft. by 18 ft

Thus, the area of the room in which we have to tile = 102 × 18 = 1836 $feet^2$ = 1836×30.48 × 30.48 = 1705699.8144 $cm^2$

Thus, the total number of the tiles = the area of the room in which we have to tile / the area of one tile = $\frac{1705699.8144}{625} = 2729.11970304$
