Answer:

2x² - 11x + 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of the rectangle by multiplying the length and width together, using FOIL

(2x - 5)(x - 3)

Multiply the first terms:

(2x)(x) = 2x²

Multiply the first term in the parentheses by the last term in the second set of parentheses:

(2x)(-3) = -6x

Multiply the second term in the first set of parentheses by the first term in the second set:

(-5)(x) = -5x

Multiply the last terms:

(-5)(-3) = 15

Add these all together, then add like terms

2x² - 6x - 5x + 15

2x² - 11x + 15

So, the area of the rectangle is 2x² - 11x + 15

Cesar, Carmen, and Dalila raised $95.34 for their tennis team. Carmen raised $12.12 less than Cesar, and Cesar raised $35 more t
NeTakaya

Answer:

Cesar's amount can be expressed by x + 12.12

Dalila's amount can be expressed as  x - 22.88

Step-by-step explanation:

If Carmen raised 12.12.less than Cesar, that means his amount is 12.12 more than hers so that is <u>x + 12.12</u> for <u>Cesar</u>.

If  Cesar raised 35 more than Dalila, her amount is Cesar's minus 35. Calculate: x+12.12 - 35. the difference is 22.88 less than x  so the amount for <u>Dalila is x- 22.88</u>

A farmer caught some wild pigs to use as founders for a domestic herd. The farmer wants all of her pigs to have one distinctive
nikdorinn [45]

Answer: Breed for black-haired pigs

Step-by-step explanation:

Now according to the statement, the farmer catches  wild pigs and mostly are brown.

Since black hair is dominant over brown and also black and brown are dominant over red,  this implies that red is the least dominant color meaning if breeding occurs, there would be less chance of getting red colored pigs.

She wants to breed either black or red haired pigs and since black is more dominant so she should breed the black ones with the brown ones or with themselves so she would eventually get pure-breeding herd i.e. of black color.
