Answer: 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the side lengths of the rectangular pan be m and n. It follows that (m-2)  (n-2)= mn/2

So, since haf of the brownie pieces are in the interior. This gives 2 (m-2) (n-2) =mn

mn- 2m - 2n- 4 = 0

Then Adding 8 to both sides and applying, we obtain (m-2) (n-2) =8

Since now, m and n are both positive, we obtain (m,n) = (5,12), (6,8) (up to ordering). By inspection, 5. 12 = 60

which maximizes the number of brownies in total which is the greatest number.

Hope that helped! =)

Given: f(x) = x - 7 and h(x) = 2x + 3 Write the rule for f(h(x)).
azamat
F(h(x)) means wherever you see x in the f(x) function you're gonna plug in the h(x) function:
f(h(x)) = (2x + 3) - 7
= 2x + 3 - 7
= 2x - 4

B.) Marua will spend 2 hours to read 100 pages of sociology which means she can only read 60 pages of economics.

X<br> 50<br> 50<br> X =<br> degrees<br><br> Please help with this problem I am going crazy
sveta [45]

Answer:

x=80°

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangles always add up to 180°.

As you have 2 angles, you would have to add them together and then take it away from 180° to get your answer.

50+50=100°

180-100=80°

Hope this helps :)
