Answer:

1.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

(10+2x)(14+2x) = 221

4x² + 48x - 81 = 0

4x² + 54x - 6x - 81 = 0

2x(2x + 27) - 3(2x + 27) = 0

(2x + 27)(2x - 3) = 0

x = -27/2, 3/2

x = 3/2 or 1½ or 1.5 inches

julsineya [31]

Answer:

(C)81

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Number of Students =300

Percentage who had cats, n(C) = 40%

Percentage who had both cats and dogs , n(C \cap D) = 12%

Percentage who had neither cats nor dogs, n(C \cup D)' =45%

Now:

Universal Set, U = n(C)+n(D)-n(C \cap D)+n(C \cup D)'

100 = 40 + n(D)-12+45\\n(D)=100-73\\$Percentage of those who own dogs =27\%

Therefore:

Number of Students who had dogs

=27% of 300

=81

algol [13]

Answer:

$20

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>20% is equal to 20/100 therefore, if 5 x 20 is 100, you would multiply 5 x 4 and get 20, </em>

the reason you don't subtract the $4 is because it says "was" so the answer is $20
