You can divide the whole expression by -3:

Recalling that

Let's compare the middle term:

So, we want to complete

Which differs from
by 16. So, if we add 16 to both sides, we have

Set up a ratio. But first convert the height of the puzzle to feet so we are comparing the same unit of measure.
STEP 1
convert 24 inches to feet
12 inches= 1 foot
24 inches= 2 feet
STEP 2
set up ratio.
= 2 feet/556 feet or 2:556
simplify both by 2
= 1 ft/278 ft or 1:278
ANSWER: 1/278 or 1:278 (can be written either way)
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let say; By y(x)= y(e)
we have;
Using Fundamental Theorem of Calculus and differentiating by Lebiniz Rule:
dy/dx = 1/xy
RECALL: y(e) = 3
MULTIPLYING BOTH SIDE BY 2 , TO ELIMINATE THE DENOMINATOR, WE HAVE;
Answer
B
