Answer: She needed 144 square feet of carpet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Maria is buying new carpet. Her bedroom is in the shape of a square.
The length of each side is 12 feet.
We know that the area of square =
So , the area of the bedroom = [which is an exponential expression]
Simplify it
The area of the bedroom =
Also, the carpet she needed = Area of the bedroom.
Thus , She needed 144 square feet of carpet.
We are given the following equation and want to find the possible values of x
Subtract both sides by 3x
Now, we have this weird equation. Since -15 is NOT equal 15 and there is no other way we could have solved for x, there is no real solution to the given equation.
In other words, there is no value of x that makes the equation true.
Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

Answer:
$1000.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent number of years.
We have been given that Tommy purchased a riding lawnmower with an original value of $2,500. The value of the riding lawnmower decreases by $300 per year. We are asked to find the value of lawnmower after 5 years.
Since the value of the riding lawnmower decreases by $300 per year, so value of lawnmower decrease in 5 years would be 5 times $300.
The final value of lawnmower would be initial value minus value decreased in 5 years.
Therefore, the value of lawnmower after years would be $1000.
