Sam buys two carpets. one carpet is 3 feet by 7/8 foot. The other carpet is 3 feet by 3/4 foot. which carpet has an area less than 3 square feet?

First subtract 10 from both side
y^2+6y-16=0
(y+8)(y-2)=0
-8 and 2

The great thing about this problem is they give you everything you need to solve it easily. so the expression is: 12h+30w12h+30wand so everywhere you have an “h” you place 66. and everywhere you have a “w” you place 33. then the expression will look like this: 12(66)+30(33)12(66)+30(33)from here you multiply and then add. getting the following of: $785,862hope this
