Answer:

The shortest side has length 24 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Try this:  3x + 4x + 5x =96 ft, or        

               12x = 96 ft

Then x = (96 ft) / 12, or x = 8

Multiplying this factor 8 by 3, we get 24.  The shortest side has length 24 ft.

The middle-length side is 4(8), or 32.

The longest side is 5(8), or 40.

Check:  Do 40 and 32 and 24 add up to 96 ft?

             do        72        and  24 add up to 96 ft?

                            Yes.

How might snakes running out of food affect other organisms such as hawks? please help
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

The population of Hawks and other species would likely start to edge off.

Step-by-step explanation:

Commonly, a Food Chain is dependent on all the parts of it sataying at a perfect point. If the food that the Snakes eat starts to run out, more of them will die off. With less Snakes, the Hawks will then have less food, and that continues throughout the chain. The same thing would happen if there was too much food, except instead of the populations of species dying off, the Snake population would spike.

Why might you want to use the commutative property to change the order of the integers in the following sum before adding
Delicious77 [7]
<span>Commutative Property is the property in which you can move around numbers in numerical operations like, addition and multiplication while retaining their result. In contrast to subtraction and division in which position is an important factor for every result, here it is regardless. </span>Why might you want to use this property?<span>Well, most importantly it suits the operation of addition and hence, to ensure the arrangement of the number is in symmetric proportion to its counterpart such as 3 + 2=2 + 3. Or rather, understanding that the equations in both sides are but the same and equal in sum. Thus, this is much more usable or will make more sense if used in a larger scale of complex equations and integers.<span>

The side of a square measures (3x − 6) units. Part A: What is the expression that represents the area of the square? Show your w
liubo4ka [24]

A. The area of a square is given as:

A = s^2

Where s is a measure of a side of a square. s = (2 x – 5) therefore,

A = (2 x – 5)^2                  

Expanding,

A = 4 x^2 – 20 x + 25

 

B. The degree of a polynomial is the highest exponent of the variable x, in this case 2. Therefore the expression obtained in part A is of 2nd degree.

Furthermore, polynomials are classified according to the number of terms in the expression. There are 3 terms in the expression therefore it is classified as a trinomial.

 

<span>C. The closure property demonstrates that during multiplication or division, the coefficients and power of the variables are affected while during multiplication or division, only the coefficients are affected while the power remain the same.</span>
