24+28.5−8=44.5 ft^2
The total area is 44.5 ft^2.
Sum/difference:
Let

This means that

Now, assume that
is rational. The sum/difference of two rational numbers is still rational (so 5-x is rational), and the division by 3 doesn't change this. So, you have that the square root of 8 equals a rational number, which is false. The mistake must have been supposing that
was rational, which proves that the sum/difference of the two given terms was irrational
Multiplication/division:
The logic is actually the same: if we multiply the two terms we get

if again we assume x to be rational, we have

But if x is rational, so is -x/15, and again we come to a contradiction: we have the square root of 8 on one side, which is irrational, and -x/15 on the other, which is rational. So, again, x must have been irrational. You can prove the same claim for the division in a totally similar fashion.
Answer:
The answer is -4x^2
Step-by-step explanation:
-3x^2 - 5x^2 + 4x^2
= -3x^2 + -5x^2 + 4x^2
Combine like terms:
-3x^2 + -5x^2 + 4x^2
(-3x^2 + -5x^2 + 4x^2)
= -4x^2
Note: I will be using the information in your attachment to answer the question.
Add the minutes to the initial time: 7:00 + 10 minutes + 7 minutes + 5 minutes = 7:22
He will be ready to board the bus at 7:22.
Subtract this time from the time the bus is schedule to pick him up: 7:40 - 7:22 = 18
Max will have 18 minutes before the bus picks him up.
