1. At the school store, Juanita bought 2 books and a backpack for a total of $26 before tax. Each book cost $8 less than the backpack. Use b for book and p for backpack.
a. Write a system of equations that can be used to find the price of each book and the price of the
backpack.
b. Solve the system you wrote in part a using the substitution method.

answer is 8x+24

area of vanessa's patio = length × width

given, length = (3x² + 5x + 10)

width = (x² - 3x - 1)

area of vanessa's patio = (3x² + 5x + 10)(x² - 3x - 1)

= 3x²(x² - 3x - 1) + 5x(x² - 3x - 1) + 10(x² - 3x - 1)

= 3x⁴ - 9x³ - 3x² + 5x³ - 15x² - 5x + 10x² - 30x - 10

= 3x⁴ - 4x³ - 8x² - 35x - 10

hence, expression of vanessa's patio = (3x⁴ - 4x³ - 8x² - 35x - 10)

convert the answer to millimeters there are 25.4 millimeters in an inch and 12 inches in a foot so just divide the 5280 feet into a fraction of the numbers till you get to the simplest form you need so (5280 x 12=63360 inches) (63360 x 25.4=1609344 millimeters) (5280/12=440 feet) its as simple as that just break it down to it's simplest form.
