Answer:

50x2 =100

So the final box is 50x2 = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a pattern in this table. 5, 2, and 2. Ex. 2x5=10, 10x2 =20 on top

The pattern is the same on the bottom: 5x5 =25, 25x2=50, and 50x2 =100

So the final box is 50x2 = 100

Set up a proportion. 2/5 = x/40
to solve the equation first cross multiply.
x*5=40*2
x*5=80
now divide both sides by 5, 80 divided by 5 is equal to 16.
so the number of girls in the computer lab is 16.

Answer:

$\displaystyle \frac{4q^2-q+3}{q^2+6q+5}-\frac{3q^2-q-6}{q^2+6q+5}=\frac{q^2+9}{q^2+6q+5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Simplifying Rational Expressions</u>

If two or more rational expressions have the same denominator, the add and subtract operations are done only with the numerator. The final denominator will be the common of both.

The expression is:

$\displaystyle \frac{4q^2-q+3}{q^2+6q+5}-\frac{3q^2-q-6}{q^2+6q+5}$
