Hey there, Bulgogi!

The correct answer will be the first one since [I'm assuming] you know that to calculate the percentage of something, it's the amount of that something divided by the total amount but since only 30 students voted [12+18] multiplied by 100.

So, we are calculating the percentage on votes and 12 students voted for Candidate A so our Numerator will be 12 and our Denominator will be the total amount of student who voted, so 30 [or 12+18]

Once put into a fraction, we will get $\frac{12}{12+18}$ which would be equals to 2/5 or 0.4. Now we multiply by 100 and we get a total of 40% for Candidate A.

Thank you for using Brainly.
See you soon!

Which equation is y=(x+3)2+(x+4)2 rewritten in vertex form

Julli [10]

Vertex coordinates: (h, k)

Vertex form: y = a(x-h)^2 + k

y = 2(x+3) + 2(x+4)

Use distributive property:

y = 2((x+3)+(x+4))

Simplify:

y = 2(2x+7)

y = 4x+14

This is slope - intercept form, not vertex form. Vertex form is for quadratic equations - this is a linear equation.

Answer (in slope - intercept form):

y = 4x+14

A rectangle with length n and height m. A right triangle with hypotenuse n + 1, length n, and height m.

Oksana_A [137]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

C. 12cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the perimeter of the rectangle is ...

P = 2(L+W)

34 = 2(n +m)

Solving for m, we get

m = 17 -n . . . . . . . divide by 2, subtract n

The Pythagorean theorem gives the relationship between the sides and the hypotenuse

m^2 +n^2 = (n+1)^2

(17 -n)^2 +n^2 = (n +1)^2 . . . . . . substitute for m

289 -34n +n^2 +n^2 = n^2 +2n +1 . . . . eliminate parentheses

n^2 -36n +288 = 0 . . . . . . . put in standard form

(n -12)(n -24) = 0 . . . . . . . . . factor

n = 12 . . . . . . . . . . n=24 is an extraneous solution here

The value of n is 12 cm.

During the past year, Zara and Ivan each read 2 books, but George read 7, Ali read 12, and Marsha read 25. The median number of

gogolik [260]

Answer:

D = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the median, we must first list the amount of books each person read, and then put them in order.

2, 2, 7, 12, 25

These are already in order from smallest to greatest, which is awesome. We can then cross out one number from each side until we end up with either one or two numbers. We then find the average of those 1 or 2 numbers to find our median.

2, 3, 7, 12, 25

cross 2 and 25 out

3, 7, 12

cross 3 and 12 out

Our median is thus 7
