Answer:
it is 3 as a simplified fraction
Step-by-step explanation:
BOX 1) 5 plain pencils and 7 pens.
BOX 2) 6 color pencils and 2 crayons.
Plain pencil (first box) ~ 5 : 7
Color pencil (second box) ~ 6 : 2
Simplify.
3 : 1 <== Second box
X^3 + 3x^2...factor out x^2
x^2 (x + 3) <==
If x is the third side, then x is between 5-3 = 2 and 5+3 = 8. The value of x cannot be equal to 2, or it can't be equal to 8 either.
So 2 < x < 8. The following answer choices fit this inequality:
choice B) 6 cm
choice C) 4 cm
The other answer choices are outside of the interval 2 < x < 8
So that's why the answers are choice B and choice C.
64x15,18 C is the right answer
