Answer:
Erich planted 7 seeds ...
he had to remove 17 plants ....
he expected to have less or equal 46 plants ...
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at keywords like remove ~ => which indicates that something is being subtracted
Since x represents seed packets, and the amount he planted is a number multiplied by x, we can deduce he planted 7 seeds ( 7 * x)
You have 2x^2 + 9x -9 and 3x^2 -2x +14
To find total area add the two polynomials together by combining the like terms.
2x^2 + 3x^2 = 5x^2
9x + -2x = 9x-2x = 7x
-9 + 14 = 5
Total area = 5x^2 + 7x + 5
the x s are the independent variable so any direct change to them is changing the independent. like the second one has -5 on the x
