Hey there!

To find the area, we multiply the length by the width! The carpet will cover the area of the room.

24×15=360

But, the carpeting is sold in square yards, not feet. There are three feet in a yard, which means that one yard is 1/3 feet. Since we have 360 square feet, we will divide it by three to get yards.

360/3=120

Therefore, the office would need 120 square yards of carpeting.

Have a wonderful day!

What is the solution for x in the equation?​
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

combine like terms (so 1/2 and 3/2): 2 - x = x - 4

add x to both sides: 2 = 2x - 4

add 4 to both sides: 6 = 2x

divide both sides by 2: 3 = x

On a graph what is y=-x
Galina-37 [17]
Sorry about the drawing but the line starts at the origin of the graph and since it is -x which means it has a negative slope. So the line would start at the origin going down by the slope of -1. hope this makes sense

Store had a sale on our supplies the price p of each item was mark down 60% which expression represents the new price
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

0.4p or p-0.6p

Step-by-step explanation:

We use percents in decimal form to multiply it with the price. We convert percents into decimals by dividing the percent number by 100. For example, 78% divided by 100 becomes 0.78.

There are two ways to look at it:

  • For finding the price we pay during a sale, we focus on the percent we pay. If 60% off is the sale, then we spend 40% or 100-60=40. 40% is 0.40. Multiply that by p an unknown price and we have 0.4p.
  • We can find the percent off by multiplying the price by the percent conversion. So 60% is 0.60. Then subtract it from the original price to find the leftover that we pay. This is p-0.6p.
