To answer this you will need to determine which area made with the 12 square tiles would give the shortest perimeter.
Think of all the combinations to get 12 square inches
1x12, 2x6, and 3x4. The perimeters of these are 26 in, 16 in, and 14 in.
You should arrange your tiles using the 3 x 4 option. You would need 14 stones.
Answer: 6 large frames and 12 small frames
Step-by-step explanation:
We define the following:
x = number of large frames
y = number of small frames
Make the following equations:
x + y = 18
19x + 9y = 222
Use system of equations to solve. We find the value of x first.
y = 18 - x
⇒ 19x + 9(18 - x) = 222
⇒ 19x + 162 - 9x = 222
⇒ 10x + 162 = 222
⇒ 10x = 60
⇒ x = 6
Find value of y:
6 + y = 18
y = 12
∴ 6 large frames and 12 small frames were purchased.
Answer:
24+18x-36=216
-12+18x=216
18x=216+12
18x=228
x=228/18
x=30/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
substitute that value for x in the polynomial and see if it evaluates to zero
Step-by-step explanation:
A "zero" of a polynomial is a value of the polynomial's variable that make the expression become zero when it is evaluated. As an almost trivial example, consider the polynomial x-3. The value x = 3 is a zero because substituting that value for x makes the expression evaluate as zero.
3 -3 = 0

Evaluating polynomials can be done different ways. Straight substitution for the variable is one way. Using synthetic division by x-a (where "a" is the value of interest) is another way. This latter method is completely equivalent to rewriting the polynomial to Horner form for evaluation.
