Answer:
132 tiles
Step-by-step explanation:
Each tile cost $4
The adhesive/grouting material costs $17.82.
If the contractor pays a total of $545.82
Let the number of tiles be represented as x
The equation is represented as:
$17.82 + $4 × x = $545.82
17.82 + 4x = 545.82
Collect like terms
4x = 545.82 - 17.82
4x = 528
Divide bother sides by 4
4x/4 = 528/4
x = 132
The number of ceramic tiles the contractor bought = 132 tiles
The other factor would be 9x
Let's do this step by step:
Subtract both sides by 7
-2|x-4|= -10
Divide each side by -2
|x-4|= 5
Now since this is an absolute value equation, you will have two answers. This means you make the equation both positive and negative.
X-4= 5and -(x-4)= 5
Solve for x for both
X-4= 5: add four on both sides
X= 9
-x+ 4= 5: subtract 4 and divide by -1
X= -1
So your answer is: X= -1 , 9
The answer is C. I need a total of 20 characters so heres a smiley face:)
Answer:
A because 15 + 5 + 5 = 25. 100/25 = 4. (OWO)
