Answer:40 square yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Floor area A=10 square yards
Red tile costs 
per square yards
White tile costs 
per square yards
Total money spent=
on tiles
Suppose red tiles cover an area of 
square yards
So, we can write
Red tiles cover an area of 40 square yards
In problem 16 I think the answers is b
2 ways
zero product property
easy way
zero product
factor perfect square
m^2-3^2=0
(m-3)(m+3)=0
set each to zero
m-3=0
x=3
m+3=0
m=-3
m=-3 or 3
easy way
add 9 to both sides
m^2=9
sqrt both sides remember to take postive and negative roots
m=+/-3
m=-3 or 3
B is answer
So you know that he earns $15 per hour so we can write that as 15h, h = # of hours worked
We also know he has to earn AT LEAST $200, so putting all this together we form the inequality(=< means less than or equal to): 15h =< 200
so now we have to solve for h (number of hours worked):
15h =< 200
(divide both sides by 15)
h =< 13 1/3
So, the painter must work a minimum of 13 and 1/3 hours to earn at least $200.
