The pythagorean theorem equation is a^2 (a squared) + b^2 (b squared) = c^2 (c squared)
so a^2+b^2=c^2
The price per foot would be .84 cents, 1 yard equals 3 feet so 2 yards is 6 feet. if you take $5.04 and divide it by 6 then you get 0.84
A) 1.75p + 12 = 54
1.75p = 42
p = 24 bags
b) 1.75(70) + 12 = b
122.5 + 12 = b
b = $134.50
They are at the 31 yard line

To solve for n, we have to isolate n. To do so, we move all the terms that are not n to one side of the equation, and leave n on the other side.

Equation: n + 5/16 = -1
Subtract 5/16 on both sides to bring it to the right side of the equation.
