I would say A because you would expect that less than half of them are out of state as more then half in the study are in state.
I'm assuming all of (x^2+9) is in the denominator. If that assumption is correct, then,
One possible answer is 
Another possible answer is 
There are many ways to do this. The idea is that when we have f( g(x) ), we basically replace every x in f(x) with g(x)
So in the first example above, we would have

In that third step, g(x) was replaced with x^2+9 since g(x) = x^2+9.
Similar steps will happen with the second example as well (when g(x) = x^2)
Answer:
A
C
Step-by-step explanation:
A and C gives same result....
9 stacks of cards and 4 cards left over because when you divide 85 by 9 you get 9.4. So you'd multiply just 9 to get 81 and 4 cards leftover
(a) The sum of length and width is half the perimeter, so the breadth in terms of length (x) in cm will be
.. breadth = 34 -x
(b) Then the expression for the area (in cm^2) is
.. area = length*breadth
.. 253 = (x)(34 -x)
.. x^2 -34x +253 = 0 . . . . . subtract the right side, eliminate parentheses
.. (x -11)(x -23) = 0 . . . . . . . factor
.. x = 11 or 23
The dimensions of the rectangle are 11 cm by 23 cm.
