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.

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

the answer is:

the answer is:

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!
