I would think that it would be the 3:8 one because if you do the math, 8-3 is 5 and 12-5 is 7. The only reason Im doing it this way is because its the only way I can set it up.
so you have more of a difference with the 12:5 one and less of a difference with the 3:8.
I hope I helped a bit
The Zero Product Property states that if ab = 0, then either a = 0 or b = 0, or both a and b are 0. When the product of factors equals zero, one or more of the factors must also equal zero. Once the polynomial is factored, set each factor equal to zero and solve them separately.
Answer:
The answer is 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Reasoning it is correct because for questions like this the bottom numbers for each shape are 10 and 8 they are very close to each other on the number line there fore since the number is two off you subtract 2 and then two again since it is 2 off to get 21 the closest answer is 20
It is a little confusing but since it is two places off you subtract two twice
1. Perimeter
22a + 2(6a + 8) -4 = p
[I got 22a from 12a + 10a]
2. If p = 250, what is a?
22a + 2(6a + 8) - 4 = 250
Distributive property
22a + 12a + 16 - 4 = 250
Add like terms
34a + 12 = 250
Subtract 12 by both sides
34a = 238
Divide 34 by both sides
a = 7
