b=28a
b = 28 * 2300
b = 64,400
a. Determine the minimum output for a 2300 ft squared modern house.
b. solve the formula for a.
b = 28 * 2300
b = 64,400
a. To solve part a, we need to substitute the given square footage, 2300 ft^2, into the formula and solve for b.
b = 28a
b = 28 * 2300
b = 64,400 BTUs
Therefore, the minimum furnace output for a 2300 square feet modern house is 64,400 BTUs.
b. To solve the formula for a, we need to isolate the variable a.
b = 28a
To isolate a, we divide both sides of the equation by 28:
b/28 = a
So, the formula solved for a is a = b/28.
