If Gary lost 17 pounds and gained 8 pound back, then we have
-17 pounds + 8 pounds = -9 pounds.
Therefore the additive inverse of the change in Gary's weight is 9 pounds.
That is, Gary lost 9 pounds of weight.

In a class of 35 students, 15 are seniors, 20 are females, and 7 are both a senior and a female. If I choose a student at random

zimovet [89]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

15 + 20 / 35

35/35 = 1 (certain)

The probability of choosing a female or senior is 1, because these are the only two groups represented in the class.

I'm always happy to help :)

Write an expression in simplest form for the perimeter of each figure

Juli2301 [7.4K]

QUESTION 12

The given figure has five unequal sides.

The perimeter is the distance around the figure.

So we add all the lengths of the sides of the rectangle to get,

$Perimeter = 5x + 4x + 2.8y + 2x + 2.2y$

We regroup the like terms to obtain,

$Perimeter = 5x + 4x +2x + 2.8y + 2.2y$

This will simplify to give us,

$Perimeter = 11x + 5.0y$

$Perimeter = 11x + 5y$

QUESTION 13

The given figure has two pairs of sides that are equal in length and three unequal sides.

The perimeter can be found by adding all the lengths of the sides of the of the figure.

This will give us

$Perimeter = 6b + 5a + 3b + 4 + 3a + 2b + 5a$

We regroup like terms to obtain,

$Perimeter = 6b + 2b+ + 3b + 5a + 5a +3a + 4 +$

This finally simplifies to ,

.
$Perimeter = 11b + 13a + 4 +$

QUESTION 14

This plane figure has four sides that are equal to 4j and two sides that are equal to 2h.

We add all the lengths of the sides of the plane figure to get,

$Perimeter =4j + 4j+ 4j+ 4j + 2h + 2h$

This will simplify to give us,

$Perimeter =16j + 4h$
