The Chin family is having new carpet installed in the dining room. The carpet costs $249 for installation and $9 for each square yard. It cost the Chin family $465 to carpet the dining room.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The Chine family installed 24 square yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Make an equation:

$249 prior to installing carpet

$9: per square yard, 9 can be represented as 9x because we don't know how many square yards are being installed  

$465: total spent

9x + 249 = 465

subtract 249 from 465

then divide 9 by whatever 249 - 465 equals
