Combine like terms and use the properties of equality to get the variable on one side of the equals sign and the numbers on the other side. Remember to follow the order of operations.
Use the definition of absolute value.
Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation.
Divide both sides by 10.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's assume that the length of a side of Allison's room as x
So, Lindsey's room = x + 3
If Lindsey's room needs 225 sq. feet of carpeting, then x + 3 =
So, x + 3 = 15
Therefore, x = 15 - 3 = 12 ( So, Allison's room has a side of length 12)
Therefore, the carpeting needed = 12 × 12 = 12² = 144 sq. feet
There's your answer!
