Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
-Given the two heights are similar:
#Heidi's flowered bed dimensions and volume is calculated as:


#The width of Andrew's is twice Heidi's. The width and volume is thus calculated as:

#Total soil volume of the soil used is determined by summing the two different flowerbed volumes:

Answer:
(x+3) x+7 is the answer for the first question if it's the same way my school does it. Whatever you put in parentheses is the opposite of what you think. + is going to the left. - is going to the right but those only apply when in parentheses.
Well the first thing you need to do is set up a proportion.
8 girls 56 girls
-------- = -----------
7 boys x
Now what we have to do is find out what we multiplied by 8 to get 56.
Simply divide.
56 ÷ 8 = 7
So, we figured out that the magic number is 7!
So we multiply the boy number by 7
7 x 7 = 49
So this means that there are 49 boys on the field trip.
Answer:
7. (4x +10)/(x^3 +3x^2 -16x -48)
9. -320/93
Step-by-step explanation:
7. As with adding any fractions, first you find a common denominator. When the fractions are rational expressions, it often helps to factor the denominators.
6/(x^2 -16) -2/(x^2 -x -12) = 6/((x -4)(x +4)) -2/((x -4)(x +3))
= (6(x +3) -2(x +4))/((x -4)(x +3)(x +4)) . . . . . using a common denominator
= (6x +18 -2x -8)/((x -4)(x +3)(x +4))
= (4x +10)/((x^2 -16)(x +3))
= (4x +10)/(x^3 +3x^2 -16x -48)

9. First you simplify the denominator:
2/25 -5/16 = (2·16 -5·25)/(25·16) = -93/400
Then you perform the division. This can be done by multiplying by the inverse of the denominator.
(4/5)/(2/5 -5/16) = (4/5)·(-400/93) = -320/93
