Howard is laying an oak wooden floor in his house. The measurements of the floor are 14.5 feet by 40 feet. The wood is packaged

in boxes. Each box will cover 18 square feet. How many boxes of wood must be purchased to cover the floor?

First you need to find the area of the floor to know how much wood you need
Area=lengthxwidth, so A=40x14.5 which equals 580 square ft
With a floor that's 580 square ft and the boxes cover 18 Sq ft each then all you have to do is 580/18= 32.222 and because you can't buy .222 of a box you need to round up to 33 boxes

Graph the equation: x = y^2 - 2
Lesechka [4]
Draw a cartesian plane, create a graph with the equation x = y^2 - 2
then substitute numbers into the equation so that it is true, to find points on the graph, e.g. substitute y with 1, you get 
x = 1^2 - 2
x = 1 - 2 = -1, so when y = 1, x = -1, this point is (-1, 1)

for the next substitute y with 2,
x = 2^2 - 2
x = 4 - 2 = 2, the point is (2, 2)
you might want to try negative values of y 
y = -1, x = (-1)^2 - 2
x = -1 the point is (-1,-1)

then plot the points on the graph

5 The area of a rectangular lawn is 255 m². If its length is 15 m, find its perimeter.​
Marina CMI [18]
Area of a rectangular lawn = l×b

255=15×x

Hence the breadth is 17 m

Hence perimeter =2(l+b)=2(15+17)=64

Determine the x- and y-intercepts of the graph of y=1/4x−2 .
KATRIN_1 [288]
To find the x-intercept, put in 0 for the y.

0=1/4x-2
2=1/4x
8=x

The x-intercept is 8. The point is (8, 0).

To find the y-intercept, put in 0 for the x.

y=1/4(0)-2
y=0-2
y=-2

The y-intercept is -2. The point is (0, -2).

To graph, find the points on a coordinate plane and draw a straight line through them.

Hope this helps!

Help me out with number 8!!! I’m confused and I need this by tomorrow HELP PLEASE

We can use elimination for these set of systems.
First, we need to set up our variables.
Belts=b
Hats=h
Now, the situation is 6 belts and 8 hats for $140. The situation after is 9 belts and 6 hats for $132.
Let’s set up our system of equations.
6b+8h=140
9b+6h=132
We need to eliminate a variable. Since b has coefficients of 6 and 9, we can easily eliminate b by multiplying the top equation by 3 and the bottom by -2.
18b+24h=420
-18b-12h=-264
Now let’s add.
12h=156
Let’s divide to get h by itself.
156/12=13=h
So a hat costs $13. We need to put in 13 for one of the equations so we can find the cost of a belt.
9b+6(13)=132
9b+78=132
We need b by itself.
9b=54
54/9=6
Belts are $6
We can also use the first equation to check our answers.
6(6)+8(13)
36+104
140.
So, the price of a belt is $6 while the price of a hat is $13.
