Answer:
3 students
Step-by-step explanation:
now for RSM Olympiad are 8
math kangaroo are 7
studs that did both are 4
Total number of studs that participated are
(8-4) + 4 + (7-4)
4+ 4 + 3 = 11
those who didn't participate are
14-11 = 13
Answer:
C) 8
Step-by-step explanation:
-5(a+3)=-55
a+3=-55/-5
a+3=11
a=11-3
a=8
Answer:
x^2 + 7x - 3 = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
I think you meant "width of the frame" from outside of frame to outside of mirror.
Let x represent the width of the frame.
Area of mirror is (3 ft)(4 ft) = 12 ft^2. Total area of mirror and frame is 15 ft^2. The 3 ft^2 difference is the area of the frame.
But you were asked to find a quadratic equation that would give you the "width" of the frame.
The "new" width would be 3 + x and the "new" height would be 4 + x.
Then the area of the mirror and frame together would be
A = (3 + x)(4 + x) = 15 ft^2, or
12 + 7x + x^2 = 15 ft^2, or
x^2 + 7x - 3 = 0. This is the desired quadratic equation.
When answer choices are given, please share them when you post a question. Thank you.
None of them have a solution of x, but 5x=15, 7x-2=19, and 5x+6=21 all have the same answer of x=3
