Answer:  d) 2.4 inches

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let x represent the width of the frame

Then the area of the frame is:

(x + 5)(x + 7) = 69.56

Rewrite it in Standard form of a quadratic equation:

x² + 12x + 35 = 69.56

x² + 12x - 34.56 = 0

Use Quadratic Formula to solve for x:

x=\dfrac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{-12+\sqrt{12^2-4(1)(-34.56)}}{2(1)}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{-12+\sqrt{282.24}}{2}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{-12+16.6}{2}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{4.8}{2}\\\\\\x=\large\boxed{2.4}

Answer:

d. 2.4 in

Step-by-step explanation:

So initially w/o frame the area was 5 x 7 = 35 sq in.

Now we have to add the width of the frame to both dimensions.

(5+w)(7+w) = 69.56 sq in

35 + 7w + 5w + w² = 69.56

w² + 12w + 35 = 69.56

w² + 12w - 34.56 = 0

I use the quadratic formula to solve this (x = -b±√b²-4ac / 2a). I cheat by using a quadratic program on the calculator :,)

w = 2.4

w = -14.4

Since we can't have a negative width, the answer must be <u>w = 2.4 inches.</u>

You can also just plug the answer choices one-by-one into the calculator with guess-and-check because this is multiple choice.

postnew [5]
To find 1/3 of 3/4 we divide the fraction by 3 which is equal to 1/4 or alternatively we can multiply the denominator by 3 which gives us 3/12 (1/4=3/12)
So 3/12 of the realesed fish are trout

To find 2/3 of 1/4 we need to first divide 1/4 by 3 which is equal to multiplying the denominator times 3 which gives us 1/12 and then we multiply by 2 which gives us 2/12
So 2/12 of the kept fish are trout

To find the total amount we add 2/12 and 3/12
3/12+2/12= 5/12

ANSWER:
5/12 of the fish she catches are trout
