Answer:
a = (p - 3b)/10
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable, a. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponents (& roots), Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction).
p = 10a + 3b
First, subtract 3b from both sides.
p (-3b) = 10a + 3b (-3b)
p - 3b = 10a
Next, isolate the a. Divide 10 from both sides.
(p - 3b)/10 = (10a)/10
(p - 3b)/10 = a
a = (p - 3b)/10 is your answer.

If each bag covers 1.25 ft^2 then you need to divide the total area 60 ft^2 by 1.25 ft^2 and that will tell you the number of bags needed which is 48 bags
(-7)*(2/5 + (-3/7))
= -14/5 + 3
=1/5
