Susan wants to buy new carpet for her living room floor the floor is the shape of a rectangle the length is 19 feet and the width is 12 feet suppose carpet cost eight dollars for each square foot how much will the carpet cost for the floor

Total square feet = length x width:

19 x 12 = 228 square feet.

Total cost = total square feet x price per square feet:

Total cost = 228 x 8 = $1,824

x= -3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify brackets

4 - x - 1 = 6

step 2: simpilfy

3 - x = 6

step 3: subtract 3 from both sides

-x = 6 - 3

step 4: simpilfy 6 - 3

-x = 3

step 5: multiply both sides by -1

x = -3
