Answer: C = 14

Step-by-step explanation: You can assume the A is less than B, and if you just go down in numbers such as A=6 and B=7 (To solve A + B = 13), you will eventually get to A=5 and B=8. If you do B = 8 + C = 14 ( That you get after subtracting 8 by 22 ) You should get 22, and to proof check it, you do A + C which is going to be 5 + 14 and you get 19 thus proving that C = 14.

Expand if necessary combine like terms (7+x)(7-x)=

mina [271]

Answer:

49 - x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

(7+x)(7-x)

We know this is the difference of squares

(a-b) (a+b) = a^2 - b^2

7^2 - x^2 = 49-x^2

We can also FOIL

first = 7*7 = 49

Outer: = 7x

Inner: = -7x

Last : -x*x = -x^2

Add them together

49 +7x-7x - x^2

Combine like terms

49-x^2

Use the x-intercept method to find all real solutions of the equation. x^3-9x^2+11x+21=0

IgorLugansk [536]

We must graph y=x^3-9x^2+11x+21. Please, see the attached file.
Then we see were the graph cuts the x-axis, and these values of x are the real solutions of the given equation:

The real solutions of the given equation are:x = -1, 3, and 7

The ratio of dogs to cats being treated at a veterinarian's office this week is 5 : 2. Suppose there are 168 dogs and cats sched

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

48 cats

Step-by-step explanation:

Am interesting factoid about ratios:

The ratio $a:b$ can be separated into fractional parts of $\frac{a}{a + b}$ and $\frac{b}{a + b}$ . We need to know the cat part. $\frac{2}{5 + 2} = \frac{2}{7}$ , so that is the fraction part. Then, we multiply this fraction by 168 to get the total number of cats. This number is 48.
