Hello!
First you have to find the surface area of what he is painting
Finding the areas of all the rectangles he is painting
14 * 8 = 112
14 * 8 = 112
12 * 8 = 96
12 * 8 = 96
12 * 14 = 168
Add all these up
112 + 112 + 96 + 96 + 168 = 584
Divide this by the amount of area a pint of paint covers
584 / 90 = 6.4888...
He needs 7 pints of paint because he needs more than 6
Multiply this by the cost of 1 pint of pint
7 * 7.98 = 55.86
The answer is $55.86
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Except k=7, any real number for k would cause the system of equations to have no solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
In general a system of equations can be represented as ax+by=c and dx+ey=f. In order this system of equations to have NO SOLUTIONS a/d=b/a≠c/f. In our example a=6, b=4, c=14, d=3, e=2 and f=k. To apply the formula above, 6/3=4/2≠14/k. Hence k≠7. It can be concluded that except k=7, any real number for k would cause the system of equations to have no solutions.
Just for information, if k=7 the system will have infinitely many solutions.
tis noteworthy that the segment contains endpoints of A and C and the point B is in between A and C cutting the segment in a 1:2 ratio,

Well, Doing 8,600 x .0395, you get 339.7, then if you do that x 25, that's too low if you add 8600 to it, 36 years if you do 339.7 x 25, then add 8600 its extremely close to 21000. And since you put approximately, since this will round up, the best answer choice is definitely B
Hope this helps. Have a great day!
The two expressions are both rational numbers- they are ending, whole and have no decimals.
