Algebra.Com's Answer #397527 by tutor_paul(519) You can put this solution on YOUR website! Define the following variables: \n" ); document.write( "Total Cost T=5120 \n" ); document.write( "Total Installation Cost = I \n" ); document.write( "Materials Cost M=2840 \n" ); document.write( "Area of Living Room = A \n" ); document.write( "Installation Cost/ft^2 C=1.9\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-------------------\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The total cost for the job (T) can be expressed by the following equation: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "--------------------\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now that you know the total installation cost, you can apply the following formula to determine the area of the living room (A).\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Substitute previous found value for I: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "======================= \n" ); document.write( "Good Luck, \n" ); document.write( "tutor_paul@yahoo.com \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
