The cost of laying wood floors consists of a base price of $250, plus $3.50 for each square foot installed. Define the variable Let s = the base price of laying wood floors
Let s = the cost of each square foot
Let S = each square foot of wood installed
Let s = $250

Let s = each square foot of wood installed

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cost of laying wood = base price + price for each square foot installed

Base price = $250

Price for each square foot installed = $3.50

Let

s = number of each square foot installed

Total cost of laying wood = $250 + $3.50s

The correct answer is

Let s = each square foot of wood installed

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
