Answer:
His equation is correct but his calculations are incorrect.
Step-by-step explanation:
180-40=140 so y=140
Hope this helps!
Answer:
$225.50 (nearest cent)
Step-by-step explanation:
1 foot ≈ 0.3048 m
Width of room = 15 ft ≈ 15 x 0.3048 = 4.572 m
Length of room = 18 ft ≈ 18 x 0.3048 = 5.4864 m
Area of room = width x length = 4.572 x 5.4864 = 25.0938208... m²
Cost of carpet = $8.99 per m²
Total cost of carpet = 25.0938208 x 8.99 = $225.50 (nearest cent)
1) name the variables:
- amount in account 1 "a"
- amount in account 2 "b"
2) trtanslate the statements into equations:
<span>- the
difference between account 1 and account 2 is $100.
=> a - b = 100
- if she uses 3/8 of
account 1 and 7/8 of account 2, Dawn will have a down payment of $2,000.
=> (3/8)a + (7/8)b = 2000
3) solve the system of equations
(1) a - b = 100
(2) (3/8)a + (7/8b) = 2000
Steps:
- multiply equation (1) by 7 and equaton (2) by 8
=>
(1) 7a - 7b = 700
(2) 3a + 7b = 16,000
- add the two equations
=>
7a + 3a - 7b + 7b = 700 + 16,000
- combine like terms:
10a = 16,700
- divide by 10:
a = 16,700 / 10 = 1670
- use equation (1) to find b:
a - b = 100 => b = a - 100 = 1670 - 100 = 1570
Answer: Dawn has $ 1670 in account 1 and
$ 1570 in account 2.

The perimeter is 40 cm. You would take the square root of 100 which is 10. 10 would be the length of each side since it is a square and all sides are equal.
