Answer:
Write the equation with 6 for x
Vk + 2 - 6 = 0
Vk - 4 = 0
Add 4 to both sides
Vk = 4
Divide both sides by V
k = 4/V
Step-by-step explanation:
P is 48
Q is 53
R is 22
S is 24
To solve the problem posed in the statement we need to know the equivalence between squared foot and squared inches, and that is:
1 square foot = 144 square inches
So Reed uses 8 pieces of glass per 144 squared inches as well.
Now we can use a rule of three, simple and direct proportion to solve the question, it goes like this:
144 squared inches ------> 8 pieces glass
864 squared inches ------> x
x = (864)(8)/144
x = 48
Hence, Reed will use 48 pieces of glass to make a window that is 864 square inches.
I wrote the steps down, hopefully you understand them and the answer is on the lower right corner.
