Answer:
(1,-2) and (6, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Hope this helps ^-^
While solving an equation the first step is to get the variable (x) alone on either side.
2.3 x - 1.6 = 8.8 - 2.9 x
+ 1.6 +1.6
2.3 x = 10.4 - 2.9 x
2.3 x - 1.6 = 8.8 - 2.9 x
-8.8 - 8.8
2.3 x - 10.4 = 2.9 x
2.3 x - 1.6 = 8.8 - 2.9 x
+2.9 x + 2.9 x
5.2 x -1.6 = 8.8
We want to multiply

by

.
The numbers are written in scientific notation. So we expect the answer also to be in scientific notation.
the multiplication of the 10's, using the exponents rule is :

the multiplication of the other 2 numbers is:

(we write the number so that it has only one digit to the left of the decimal point).
Thus,

Answer:
To answer this question, you should draw a picture of a large rectangle with labels 15 ft by 20 ft.
Inside the large rectangle, draw another rectangle (the carpet) with dimensions 9 ft by 12 ft.
When you do this, you will see that you will have 3 feet of space on both sides of the longer wall (15 - 9 = 6; 6/2 = 3 feet).
On the shorter wall, you will have 4 feet of space (20 - 12 = 8; 8/2 = 4 feet).
You will have room for your couch on the shorter wall without touching the carpet.
