What is the relationship between the areas of the gym and weight room?
Answer:
The relationship between the areas of the gym and weight room = 550 ft.
Explanation:
In the above-given question,
given that,
The school is planning to add a weight room to the gym.
If the total area of the gym and weight room should stay under 5,500 square feet.
the area of the school is l x b.
where l = 90 ft and b = 55 ft.
area = l x b.
area = 90 x 55.
area = 4950.
5500 – 4950 = 550.
so the relationship between the areas of the gym and weight room = 550 ft.

Topic 4 Mid-Topic Performance Task
Alison is a buyer for a chain of 6 flower shops. This means that she buys flowers in bulk from a supplier and then distributes them to the 6 flower shops in the chain.
PART A
This week Alison bought 108 bunches of carnations and 96 bunches of roses from the supplier. Let c represent the number of carnations in each bunch, and let r represent the number of roses in each bunch. Write an expression to show the total number of carnations and roses that Alison bought.
Answer:
The total number of carnations and roses that Alison bought = 12(9c + 8r).
Explanation:
In the above-given question,
given that,
This week Alison bought 108 bunches of carnations and 96 bunches of roses from the supplier.
Let c represent the number of carnations in each bunch, and let r represent the number of roses in each bunch.
108c + 96r.
12(9c + 8r).
12 x 9c = 108c.
12 x 8r = 96r.
PART B
Alison wants to distribute the carnations and roses equally among the 6 flower shops. Factor the expression from Part A using 6 as the common factor. How does the factored expression help Alison determine how many carnations and how many roses each flower shop should get?
Answer:
The common factor is 3(c + r).
Explanation:
In the above-given question,
given that,
Alison wants to distribute the carnations and roses equally among the 6 flower shops.
3c + 3r.
3(c + r).
1(3c + 3r).
so the common factor is 3(c + r).
PART C
There are 24 carnations in each bunch and 12 roses in each bunch. Use your answer to Part B to determine the total number of carnations and the total number of roses Alison will distribute to each flower shop this week.
Answer:
The total number of carnations and roses = 6(4c + 2r).
Explanation:
In the above-given question,
given that,
There are 24 carnations in each bunch and 12 roses in each bunch.
24 c + 12 r.
2(12c + 6r).
6(4c + 2r).
6 x 4c = 24c.
6 x 2r = 12r.
PART D
Jake manages one of the flower shops. He wants to use the carnations and roses to make bouquets. He wants each bouquet to have the same combination of carnations and roses, with no flowers left over. Determine a way that Jake can divide the flowers to make the bouquets. How many bouquets will there be?
Answer:
The number of bouquets will there be = 6(c + r).
Explanation:
In the above-given question,
given that,
Jake manages one of the flower shops.
He wants to use the carnations and roses to make bouquets.
He wants each bouquet to have the same combination of carnations and roses, with no flowers left over.
6 and 6.
6 x 6 = 36.
6c + 6r.
6(c + r).
so the number of bouquets will there be = 6(c + 1).

KEY CONCEPT
To subtract expressions, you can use properties of operations.
Write the subtraction as addition and use the Distributive Property to multiply – 1 to the terms in the expression being subtracted.
5 – (2x – 7)
= 5 – (-2x – 7)
= 5 +(-1)(-2x – 7)
= 5+ (-1)(-2)x + (-1)(-7)
= 5 + 2x + 7
You can use the Distributive Property to distribute the minus sign to the second expression, which changes the signs of the terms.
5 – (-2x – 7)
= 5 + 2x + 7

A student received a coupon for 14% off the total purchase price at a clothing store. Let c be the original price of the purchase. The expression c – 0.14c represents the new price of the purchase. Write an equivalent expression to show another way to represent the new price.
Answer:
The equivalent expression to show another way to represent the new price = 0.13c.
Explanation:
In the above-given question,
given that,
A student received a coupon for 14% off the total purchase price at a clothing store.
Let c be the original price of the purchase.

Lesson 4.1 Write and Evaluate Algebraic Expressions
Quick Review
You can use an algebraic expression to represent and solve a problem with unknown values. The expression can consist of coefficients, constants, and variables. You can substitute values for variables to evaluate expressions.
Example
A farm charges $1.75 for each pound of strawberries picked and $2 for a basket to hold the strawberries. What is the total cost to pick 5 pounds of strawberries?
Answer:
The total cost to pick 5 pounds of strawberries = $10.75.
Explanation:
In the above-given question,
given that,
A farm charges $1.75 for each pound of strawberries picked and $2 for a basket to hold the strawberries.
($1.75 x $5) + 2.
($8.75) + 2.
$10.75.
Write an expression to represent the total cost in dollars to pick p pounds of strawberries.
1.75p + 2
Substitute 5 for p.
1.75(5) + 2 = 8.75 + 2 = 10.75
It costs $10.75 to pick 5 pounds of strawberries.

Question 2.
The cost to buy p pounds of potatoes at $0.32 per pound and n pounds of onions at $0.48 per pound can be determined by using the expression 0.32p + 0.48n. How much will it cost to buy 4.5 pounds of potatoes and 2.5 pounds of onions?
Answer:
The cost to buy 4.5 pounds of potatoes and 2.5 pounds of onions = 0.4608 + 1.2n.
Explanation:
In the above-given question,
given that,
The cost to buy p pounds of potatoes at $0.32 per pound and
n pounds of onions at $0.48 per pound can be determined by using the expression 0.32p + 0.48n.
0.32 x 4.5p = 0.4608p.
0.48 x 2.5n = 1.2.
0.4608 + 1.2n.

Lesson 4.5 Factor Expressions
Quick Review
When you factor an expression, you write it as a product of two expressions. The new expression is equivalent to the original expression. The greatest common factor (GCF) and the Distributive Property are tools that you use when you need to factor an expression.
Example
Factor the expression 12x – 9y + 15.
The GCF of 12x, 15, and -9y is 3.
Rewrite each term using 3 as a factor.
12x = 3 • 4x
-9y = 3 • (-3y)
15= 3 • 5
Use the Distributive Property to factor the expression.
3(4x – 3y + 5)

Lesson 4.8 Analyze Equivalent Expressions
Quick Review
Equivalent expressions can help to show new information about a problem. Sometimes the equivalent expression will be an expanded expression. In other cases, it will be a factored expression.
Example
The perimeter of a square is represented with the expression 84 + 44s. What is the length of one side of the square?
A square has 4 sides, so factor 4 out of each term in the expression for the perimeter.
84 + 445 = 4 • 21 + 4 • 11s = 4(21 + 115)
The factor within the parentheses represents the length of one side of the square.
The length of one side is 21 + 11s.
