They both are not linear
15 is a parabola and 14 is attached.
C.
A doesn't work because x + x + x = 3x, not x^3.
B doesn't work because 14x + 10 - 2x has like terms, 14x and -2x can be combined, bit when you do so you get 14x - 2x, or 12x + 10. (So not 16x + 10)
D doesn't work because 12x^2 + 5x + 10 doesn't simplify; it can only be factored, and you cannot combine 12x^2 and 5x because their variables have different powers.
C, however, works fine. All they did is factor out a 3; if you distribute that 3 again, you get 12x + 16x back, so the two are equal.
Answer:
x = 5.5
General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
31 = x + 25.5
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Subtract 25.5 on both sides: 5.5 = x
- Rewrite: x = 5.5
First, you must find the width of GHJK. Since the area of it is 84m², divide 84 by 7.
84÷7=12
So the width of GHJK is 12m.
Next, find the scale of GHJK to LMNP. Since the height of both are already available, you can divide 21÷7 to get 3
This means that to get the width of LMNP you must multiply the width of GHJK by 3.
12×3=36.
Now, to get the area of LMNP, multiply 21 by 36.
21×36=756
So, the area of LMNP is 756m². (Don't forget the units!>
