She would have $23.52 because 12 times 3 is 36 and 36-12.48=23.52
B is the correct answer because the bottom should be 8^0 which equals 1
Multpiply first equation by 3 and second by 5 to clear nasty faractions
-13x-6y=21
15x+2y=25
now see which ones we can clear
we can clear y
multiply second equation by 3 and add to the first equation
-13x-6y=21
<u>45x+6y=75 +</u>
32x+0y=96
32x=96
divide both sides by 32
x=3
sub back
15x+2y=25
15(3)+2y=25
45+2y=25
minus 45 from both sides
2y=-20
divide both sides by 2
y=-10
x=3
y=-10
(3,-10)
Each foot of the patio would be 49 feet because a square has four equal side lengths and 196/4=49. now don't put you'll whole faith in me, this is a good guess.
