Answer:
Option D - 60
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Connor made 9 shapes with straws. Each shape had 5 straws. Conor used 15 more straws to make more shapes.
To find : What is the total number of straws Connor used to make all the shapes?
Solution :
To make 1 shape Connor required 5 straws.
To make 9 shape connor required
straws.
Now, there were 45 straws.
Conor used 15 more straws to make more shapes.
The total number of straws Connor used to make all the shapes are
Therefore, Option D is correct.
Cannor used 60 straws to make shapes.

12 / 6 = 2
2 + 4 = 6
6 / 3 = 2
so the answer is 2
<h3>Part 1</h3>
If we simplify, both Joe and Hope factored the polynomial correctly but Joe didn't complete it fully.
<u>The first binomial can be further factored:</u>
<h3>Part 2</h3>
The quadratic expression needs to have two roots in order to be factored as two binomials.
<u>The discriminant must be positive or zero:</u>
We have a = 3, b = k, c = -8
<u>So we get following inequality:</u>
- k² - 4*3*(-8) ≥ 0
- k² + 96 ≥ 0
<u>Since k² is positive for any value of k, the solution is any value of k:</u>
The answer is 4 because nine less 8 no less that 3
