3x - 12

Triple a number would be 3x instead of x cubed as it is not asking for a number multiplied by itself three times.

-12 is the second half as since you don’t know whether or not the variable will be larger or smaller than the constant, it is safer to put it on the other half.

Thus, this equation fills in the worded format.

Hope this helps!

12-3x because 12 less than means 12- and tripe a number is 3x which is 12-3x or -3x+12

Find area of the composite figure..
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

627square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the composite figure.. = area of triangle + area of parallelogram

Since the triangle is an equilateral triangle;

Area of the triangle = r²sintheta

Area of the triangle = 18²sin60

Area of the triangle = 324sin60

Area of the triangle  = 324(0.8860)

Area of the triangle = 280.584 square in

Area of the triangle = 281 square inches

Area of parallelogram = absintheta

Area of parallelogram = 20(20)sin60

Area of parallelogram = 400(0.8660)

Area of parallelogram = 346.4square inches

Area of parallelogram = 346 square inches

Area of the figure = 346  + 281

Area of the figure  = 627square inches

Nostrana [21]

Answer: B

The p-value and significance level are provided from the questions .

General rule of P value :  When a P value is less than or equal to the significance level, you reject the null hypothesis.
