I think it's the answer C, because in the second and third pairs, the -2 are the same.
Hi there!

We are given the equation:
x² - 2y = 7
To verify if each ordered pair is apart of the function, we can plug in their respective x and y values:
1. (5)² - 2(8) = 7
25 - 16 = 9 ≠ 7. This is NOT correct.
2. (-1)² - 2(-3) = 7
1 + 6 = 7. This is correct.
3. (-4)² - 2(-11.5) = 7
16 + 23 = 39 ≠ 7. This is NOT correct.
4. (1.2)² - 2(-2.78) = 7
1.44 +5.56 = 7. This is correct.
Thus, only 1 and 4 are the correct answers.
Divide the first one by the second and the answer will be B.
Answer: 864 tiles
Step-by-step explanation:
Rather than calculating the whole area of bathroom and area of one tile, It is quicker and easier to determine how many rows of tiles that will be needed.
Note that 1 feet = 12 inches
Each tile measures 3 inches on each side.
Length: 9 feet = 9 × 12 = 108 inches
Therefore, 108/3 = 36 tiles will fit along the length.
Width: 6 feet = 6 × 12 = 72 inches. Therefore, 72/3 = 24 tiles will fit along the width.
So, (36 × 24) = 864 tiles will be needed.
