Two rolls of carpet are together worth £574.
\n" ); document.write( "The first roll costs £8 per metre.
\n" ); document.write( "Quantity:: x metres
\n" ); document.write( "Value:: L 8x
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The second which is 7m longer than the first costs £7 per metre.
\n" ); document.write( "Quantity:: x+7 metres
\n" ); document.write( "Value:: L(7x+49)
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "How many metres wre there in each roll? Need equation to work this out please.
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Value Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "8x + 7x+49 = 574
\n" ); document.write( "15x = 525
\n" ); document.write( "x = 35 metres (amt of L8 carpet)
\n" ); document.write( "x+7 = 42 metres (amt of L7 carpet)
