"There will be two sizes of floats in the parade( 30 ft and 15 ft). A space of 10 ft will be left after each float."

so the 30 ft float needs 30+10 = 40 ft
the 15 ft float needs 15+10 = 25 ft

Answer 7

x = # of 30 ft floats
y = # of 15 ft floats

Answer 8

i need help with part b

Answer 9

the first equation is 40x + 25y = 150

the 40x is the total amount for the x floats of 30 ft
the 25y is the total amount for the y floats of 15 ft
