Answer:

a) Adding -5x on both sides of the equation to remove the smaller x-coefficient

b) Adding -4 on both sides will remove the constant from the right side of the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

5x + (−2) = 6x + 4

a) What tiles need to be added to both sides to remove the smaller x-coefficient?

Smaller x-coefficient is 5x to remove the smaller x-coefficient

So, Adding -5x on both sides of the equation to remove the smaller x-coefficient

b) What tiles need to be added to both sides to remove the constant from the right side of the equation?

the constant on right side is 4

Adding -4 on both sides will remove the constant from the right side of the equation

Joe's bathroom floor is 5 feet wide and 8 feet long.  He will cover the floor with 3" square tiles.  How many tiles does Joe nee
krek1111 [17]
<span>Multiply the length and width together to get the total required area - 5*8 = 40. Now each tile covers 3 inches and you need to cover 40 feet, so convert feet into inches by multiplying 40 by 12 (480). Now divide 480 (desired area) by 3 (how much each tile covers) to get 160 - the amount of tiles you'll need.

Sorry, didn't realize I didn't post it as an answer. But no problem!</span>

A school library spends $80 a month on magazines. The average price for magazines bought in January was 70 cents more than the a
gregori [183]

Answer:

  32 magazines

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the number of subscriptions in December, then the number in January is x-7.

The relationship between the average price of magazines in the two months is ...

  80/(x-7) -80/(x) = 0.70 . . . . . . . . .Jan price - Dec price = 0.70

  80(x) -80(x -7) = 0.70(x)(x-7) . . . . multiply by the denominators

  0.7x^2 -4.9x +560 = 0 . . . . . . . . put in standard form

  x^2 -7x +800 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.7

  (x -32)(x +25) = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . factor

The product is zero when one of the factors is zero. x=32 or -25. The sensible solution for this problem is x=32.

The school library subscribed to 32 magazines in December.

Lila needs a custom frame for a painting that her friend made for her. I’ve Been Framed is offering 50 percent off plus an addit
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The location offering the better price is The Framers. It is cheaper by $1.35

Step-by-step explanation:

I've Been Framed:

50% of $115 = $57.5

10% of $57.5 = $5.75

$57.5 - $5.75 = $51.75

Total: $51.75

The Framers:

30% of $120 = $36

$120 - $36 = $84

40% of $84 = $33.6

$84 - $33.6 = $50.4

Difference: $1.35
