A bedroom requires 1,000 square feet more carpet than is needed to cover a living room. The carpet area required for both the bedroom and the living room is 958 square meters. How many square meters of carpet are needed for the room?
Let living room require x m^2
Bedroom will require x+ 1000 ft^2 (92.90 m^2 =1000 ft^2)
x+92.90 m^2
x+x+ 92.90 = 958 (total carpet area)
2x = 958-92.90
2x =865.1
x=432.5 m^2
living room requires 432.5 m^2
Balance for the bedroom ( subtract from total carpet area)
