X
x+2
x + x + 2 = 196
2x = 194
x=97
The two consecutive odd integers are 97 and 99.
Answer:
You need to use A, B, and C.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's treat the units as variables. I'll illustrate why in a moment.

Now, as you can see, we have a giant mess of units to deal with. This is where we can treat the units like separate variables and use a bit of algebra to make our lives easier:


So, backtracking through that entire mess, we had to use
.
These correspond to the options of A, C, and B accordingly.
So you need to use A, B, and C.
$3:$4
you divide both sides by 4
First of all, I must assume that the correct cost for carpet is $4.25 per <em><u>square</u></em> foot.
It could be $4.25 per foot if it came of a standard roll, but then I would need to know the width of the roll, which you haven't given.
Area of the room = (15-ft x 14-ft) = 210 square feet
Area of the closet = (4-ft x 8-ft) = 32 square feet
Total area = (210 + 32) = 242 square feet.
Total cost of carpet = (242 x $4.25) = <u>$1,028.50</u> plus pad and installation.
=========================================
You know what ? I think you may have mis-copied the price of carpet altogether.
At $4.25 per square foot, that's <em><u>awfully</u></em> expensive carpet.
I suspect the actual price is $4.25 per <em>square yard</em>. That's pretty cheap, but
it's a lot closer to reasonable than $4.25 per square foot is ($38.25 per yd² !)
If it's $4.25 per square yard, then we need to know that 1 square yd = 9 square ft.
The total requirement is 242/9 = 26 and 8/9 square yard, so you'll buy 27 sq yds.
$4.25 x 27 = <u>$114.75</u> plus pad and installation. That sounds cheap but better.
Draw a graph of 515 length then then make an angle of 22 width that should get you your answer. Hope this helps!
