1 ft = 12 inches....so 10 ft = (10 * 12) = 120 inches
each strip of wall paper is 20 inches...
so 120/20 = 6 strips of wall paper are required <==
Let's use J for James's age and A for Austin's age. The equations are:
J = A - 4
3J + A² = 28
Just plug (A - 4) in the place of J in the second equation. This gives you:
3(A - 4) + A² = 28
-->
A² + 3A - 12 = 28
-->
A² + 3A - 40 = 0
-->
(A - 5)(A + 8) = 0
-->
A = 5 or -8
-8 is nonsense, so Austin is 5 years old. Therefore, James is 1 year old.

c.5.010
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
(3x-15)/2 = 4x
Multiply each side by 2
(3x-15)/2 *2= 4x*2
3x-15 = 8x
Subtract 3x from each side
3x-15-3x = 8x-3x
-15 = 5x
Divide each side by 5
-15/5 = 5x/5
-3 =x
