By adding two positives together, or a big positive number with a small negative number.
I got 64 square feet.
My work is shown in the image.
For possible questions:
1: you can find x+7 and x-2 because the sides of the square can be measured as x, and x+7 means 7 more than the original; x-2 means 2 less than the original.
2: solved via factoring. Not sure if you've learned it or not.
3: reject the negative numbers because you can't have negative sides in a square.
Fredrick’s data set contains an outlier.
The mean value is about 12.6 home runs.
The median describes Fredrick’s data more accurately than the mean.
Answer:
<u>C) −2x − 2y + 17</u>
Step-by-step explanation (PEMDAS):
First, we do <u>3 (y + 5)</u> because of the parenthesis:
6x − 5y + 2 − 8x + 3y + 15
Since there are no exponents, multiplication ,or division, we will add and subtract. But we have to make sure we <u>combine like terms</u>. X with X's, Y with Y's and constants with constants. And ALWAYS go from left to right
6x − 5y + 2 − 8x + 3y + 15
<u>−2x</u> − 5y + 2 + 3y + 15
−2x <u>− 2y</u> + 2 + 15
<em>−2x − 2y</em><em> </em><em>+ </em><em><u>17</u></em><em>.</em>
