Answer: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

You can answer this question by using the equation

(8+x)(7+x)=110

The x represents the width, as we do not know the area. If you simplify the equation, it becomes 56+15x+x2=110.

If you move all the terms to the left side, and rearrange it, it can become x^2+15x-54=0

This can be simplified into (x-3)(x+18)=0

This equation makes it so that x is either 3 or -18. It is not possible for a width to be -18, so the width must be 3.

Given:

Minni is arranging 3 different music CDs in a row on a shelf.

To find:

The sample space for the arrangement of a jazz CD (J), a pop CD (P), and a rock CD (R).

Solution:

We know that the total number of ways to arrange n items is n!.

Minni is arranging 3 different music CDs in a row on a shelf. So, the total number of ways is:

3!=3\times 2\times 1

3!=6

The sample space for the arrangement of a jazz CD (J), a pop CD (P), and a rock CD (R) is:

{JPR, JRP, PJR, PRJ, RJP, RPJ}

Therefore, the required sample space is {JPR, JRP, PJR, PRJ, RJP, RPJ}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Now when we talk about place values we have ones tens hundreds thousands ten thousands and so on. So when you look at no.1 its place value is ones because 1 is the first value.

So 2 is in tens.

Now the difference of tens and hundreds is tens follows the 2 place value and hundreds the next.
