Since 4 nights cost $356, 356÷4=89, so one night costs $89. 7-4=3, so 89×3 is 267. 267+356 is 623. The total cost for 7 nights would be $623
Answer: -2
(-5)(-1)x=(10)(-1)
5x = -10
x = -2
I'll write in the format (x;y) where x is the salad dressings amount, and y is the amount of servings.
We can see the line goes through the points (1;2) , (2;4) , (3;6) ...
So, the amount of servings are doubled the amount of salad dressings she need to use. (1 cup every 2 servings, 2 cups every 4 servings, etc.)
-> Leslle used half a cup of salad dressing for every serving of salad (B)
OK. I did it, and I have the solution.

The length of the deck is (5 + 2x) .
The width of the deck is (4 + 2x) .
If the deck didn't have that big hole in the middle where the pool is,
then its area would be
(5 + 2x) · (4 + 2x) .
When you multiply that all out, you get Area = 4x² + 18x + 20
and the question tells us that the area of the whole big rectangle is 90 yds² .
So we can write
4x² + 18x + 20 = 90 .
Subtract 90 from each side: 4x² + 18x - 70 = 0
Divide each side by 2 : 2x² + 9x - 35 = 0
You can use the quadratic equation to solve that and find out that
x = 2.5 yards, and that's what the question is asking you.

That makes the deck 10 yds high and 9 yds wide.
Total area of the whole big rectangle, (deck + pool ), = 90 yds².
