To determine how much of the wall is blue we first need to find its area. The wall is a rectangle, then its area is the product of its height and length:
Hence, the area of the wall is 140 square ft. To determine how much of the wall is already painted we multiply this by 1/2, then:
Therefore, 70 square ft are blue.
Divide both sides by 3.1 and find g = 20.9/3.1 ≈ 6.7 ≈ 7.
You can estimate this without a calculator by saying 20.9 ≈ 21 and 3.1≈3, then 21/3=7.
In general, be careful with rounding before a calculation, because the rounding errors can be enlarged, messing up the accuracy of your answer. It's best to round only at the end.
A. y - 1 = 3x + 6
Add 1
y = 3x + 7
B. 3y + 6 = x - 1
Subtract 6, then divide by 3
3y = x - 7
y = 1/3x - 7/3
C. y - 2 = 1/3x + 1
Add 2
y = 1/3x + 3
D. y + 1 = 3x - 6
Subtract 1
y = 3x - 7
When put on a graph, D passes through (2, -1)
