[Edit:}

Okay! So after you have 15+(21)÷3, you have to remember PEMDAS.

PEMDAS is the order in which you solve equations.

1. Parentheses: you solve everything in the parentheses first, all while following the rules of PEMDAS

2. Exponents: after you solve the things in the parentheses, you do the exponents.

3. Then you do Multiplication or Division, solving in the order from left to right.

4. After, you do Addition or Subtraction, solving in the order from left to right.

So using PEMDAS, we'll solve 15+(21)÷3.

We do division before addition, so 21/3 is 7.

Then you add 15 to 7 and get 22 as your final answer.

Hope this helps!

A school is planning to construct two rectangular play areas in the playground. The length of play area A must be 1 foot longer

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

А.The system has two solutions, but only one is viable because the other results in a negative width.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let:

$L_A \to$ length of play area A

$W_A \to$ width of play area A

$L_B \to$ length of play area B

$W_B \to$ width of play area B

$x \to$ Area of A

$y \to$ Area of B

From the question, we have the following:

$L_A = 1 + 4W_A$

$W_B = 2 + W_A$

$L_B = 2 + 3W_B$

$x = y$

The area of A is:

$x = L_A * W_A$

This gives:

$x = (1 + 4W_A) * W_A$

Open bracket

$x = W_A + 4W_A^2$

The area of B is:

$y = L_B * W_B$

$y = (2 + 3W_B) * ( 2 + W_A)$

Substitute: $W_B = 2 + W_A$

$y = (2 + 3(2 + W_A)) * ( 2 + W_A)$

Open brackets

$y = (2 + 6 + 3W_A) * ( 2 + W_A)$

$y = (8 + 3W_A) * ( 2 + W_A)$

Expand

$y = 16 + 8W_A + 6W_A + 3W_A^2$

$y = 16 + 14W_A + 3W_A^2$

We have that:

$x = y$

This gives:

$W_A + 4W_A^2 = 16 + 14W_A + 3W_A^2$

Collect like terms

$4W_A^2 - 3W_A^2 + W_A -14W_A - 16 =0$

$W_A^2 -13W_A - 16 =0$

Using quadratic calculator, we have:

$W_A = -14.1$ or $W = 1.13$ --- approximated

But the width can not be negative; So:

$W = 1.19$

Select all that apply.

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. Mixtures are not given chemical formulas because no chemical bonding took place between the components in the mixture such as sugar in water. Sugar in water still remains to be sugar, its properties are the same but only it is dissolved in water.
