Answer:

350 sq ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

840 sq ft area has a bedroom, kitchen and bathroom.

Let the area of bedroom be x sq ft.

Then the area of kitchen will also be x sq ft.

Let the area of bathroom be y sq ft.

As per question statement:

x+y+x=840\\\Rightarrow 2x+y=840 ...... (1)

Tiles ordered to cover two kitchens and two bathrooms is 980 sq ft.

i.e.

2x+2y=980 ..... (2)

Subtracting equation (1) from (2):

i.e. (2) - (1):

y = 140 sq ft

Putting the value of y in (1):

2x+140=840\\\Rightarrow 2x =700\\\Rightarrow \bold{x=350\ sq\ ft}

Therefore, the carpet needed for each bedroom = <em>350 sq ft</em>

What is the solution is to this 3/5(2m-10)=2/3m+10
aivan3 [116]
To find the solution to the given expression, we simply isolate the unknown variable m and perform the necessary operations. The solution is as follows. 

(3/5)*(2m-10) = (2/3)*m + 10
15*[(3/5)*(2m-10) = (2/3)*m + 10]
9(2m-10) = 10m + 150
18m-90 =10m + 150
18m - 10m = 150 + 90
8m = 240
m = 240/8
m = 30

First, we multiply the whole expression to the least common denominator (LCD) which is 15. Multiplication and division were then performed accordingly. The terms containing the variable m were transposed to the left side of the equation. Mathematical operations were then applied to get the final value of m which is equal to 30.

Suppose a math class contains 40 students. There are 18 females (two of whom speak Spanish) and 22 males (two of whom speak Span
yarga [219]

Answer:

50%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a math class contains 40 students, and there are 18 females (two of whom speak Spanish) and 22 males (two of whom speak Spanish), in order to know the percent of Spanish speaking students that are male with respect to the total Spanish-speaking students, the following calculation has to be made:

2 + 2 = 4

2 / 4 = 0.5

Therefore, the percentage of Spanish speaking students that are male is 50%.

Solve the system of equations.
Llana [10]

2x + 3y = 13

–6x + 4y = 0

multiply the first equation by 3

6x +9y = 39

then add the 2nd equation to the first

6x +9y = 39

–6x + 4y = 0

-------------------

13y = 39

divide by 13

y =3

now take an equation and solve for x by substituting in y

2x +3y =13

2x +3(3) =13

2x+9 =13

subtract 9 from each side

2x =4

divide by 2

x=2
