Answer:

The fraction of students who likes soccer or basketball is 7/10.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we have two groups of students, the group a is the one that prefers soccer, while the second group is the one that prefers basketball. We then need to find the fraction that represents the students that are in either group, in these cases we need to take the fractions of each group and sum them. So we have:

soccer OR basketball = soccer + basketball

soccer OR basketball = 2/5 + 3/10

Through LMC we have:

soccer OR basketball = (2*2 + 3)/10 = (4 + 3)/10 = 7/10

The fraction of students who likes soccer or basketball is 7/10.

The area of a rectangular classroom is given by the trinomial a - 4a - 21. The length of the rectangle is a+3. What is the expre
djverab [1.8K]
I am assuming you wrote the problem wrong. Is it a^2?
A^2 -4A-21=0
(A-7)(A+3)=0
A=7 A=-3, ignore the negative number because it doesn't make sense if you plug in for a.
length=a+3=7+3=10
Width=7=a

The answer really depends on what b is. Unless you give me a number for what b equals I can’t solve it.
