----------------------------
Charlie's Carpets:
----------------------------
Carpet : $18/yd
Installation: $2/yd

Discount: 20% x $18 = 0.2 x 18 = $3.60
Carpet Price after discount = $18 - $3.60 = $14.40/yd²

Carpet Price with installation $14.40 + $2 = $16.40/yd²

----------------------------
Cindy's Carpet
----------------------------

Carpet = $18/yd²

Discount = 10% = 0.1 x $18 = $1.80
Price after Discount = $18 - $1.80 = $16.20/yd²

----------------------------
Summary:
----------------------------
Charlie's Carpet = $16.40/yd²
Cindy's Carpet = $16.20/yd²

CIndy's Carpet is cheaper.

----------------------------
Find Cost:
----------------------------
Length = 19 x 1/3 = 19/3 yards
Width = 12 x 1/3 = 4 yards

19/3 x 4 = 25 1/3 yd²

Cost = 25 1/3 x $16.20 = $410.40

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Cindy's Carpet is cheaper and it will cost $410.40.

Why is -a² is always negative (a ≠ 0) and why is (-a)² is always positive?
hjlf
-a^2=(-1)\cdot a\cdot a

Regardless of the sign of a, we have a\cdot a=a^2\ge0 (never negative). But multiplying by -1 makes it negative.

On the other hand,

(-a)^2=((-1)\cdot a)^2=(-1)^2\cdot a^2=1\cdot a^2=a^2

which can never be negative for real a.

alex needs to buy compressed air to fill 5 empty cylindrical tanks for his store. each tank is 12 feet deep and has a radius of
Yanka [14]
Volume of a cylinder = the area of the base x height of the cylinder
Area of base = \pir^2
A = 6^2(\pi)
A = 36\pi
V = 36\pi x 12
V = 432\pi

5 cylinders = 5V

5V = 5 x (432\pi)
5V = 2160\pi

Final answer: Alex needs to buy 2160\pi or 6785.84 cubic feet worth of compressed air to fill all of the cylindrical tanks.

Answer:

Answer for #10:

y = 2 \: and \: x = 1

Answer for #1:

x = 2 \: and \: y =  - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve a simultaneous equation using the substitution method you have to:

Use one of the equation and substitute it into the other equation, in this case equation <em>B</em><em> </em>was substituted into equation <em>A</em><em>.</em>

<em>equ. \: a = (2x - 3y = 7) \\ equ. \: b = (x = 1 - y)</em>

Therefore since x = 1 - y, equation A would be:

2(1 - y) - 3y = 7 \\ (2 - 2y) - 3y = 7 \\  - 2y - 3y = 7 - 2 \\  - 5y = 5 \\ y =  - 1 \: and \: x = 2
