3x+3=90
subtract 3 from both sides
3x=87
divide both sides by 3
x=29
To find IJ, plug in the x value
x+8+x-9
29+8+29-9
57=IJ
Surface Area of Cube = width^2 * 6 (sides of the cube)
Therefore, (3.5)^2 * 6 =
73.5 [whatever units]^2
Let
x-----> the number of hours that Candice spent doing her homework
y-----> the number of hours that Ronald spent doing his homework
we know that

convert mixed number to an improper fraction

so
-------> equation A
------> equation B
Substitute equation A in equation B

convert an improper fraction to a mixed number

therefore
<u>the answer is the option B</u>

He gains 6 Pounds a month, overall he gains 72 pounds in 12 months
We know that
<span>Since the focus and vertex are above and below each other, rather than side by side, I know that this ellipse must be taller than it is wide.
</span>Then
a²<span> will go with the </span>y<span> part of the equation
</span>Also, since the focus is 8 <span>units below the center, then </span><span>c = 8
</span>since the vertex is 17<span> units above, then </span><span>a = 17
</span>The equation b²<span> = a</span>²<span> – c</span>²<span> gives me
</span>b²=17²-8²-----> b²=225
the equation is
y²/a²+x²/b²=1------> y²/289+x²/225=1
the answer isy²/289+x²/225=1see the attached figure
