3 because 5 - 3x = -4 than -3x = -9 which makes x = 3
Hi there!
So, let’s start with the rectangles. You would multiply 4(2 ft x 3 ft) since length x width = area (for rectangles). You multiply by 4 because there are 4 rectangles mentioned, and each have the same 2 ft x 3 ft measurements.
Next, you multiply 2(2 ft x 2 ft), or 2 to the exponent of 3, i.e., 2^3. 2 ft x 2 ft are the measurements of the sides of the squares, and as you probably know, side x side OR side^2 = area (for squares). Again, you multiply the original 2 ft x 2ft area by 2 because there are 2 squares mentioned with the same 2 ft x 2 ft measurements.
Finally, you add 4(2 ft x 3 ft) and 2(2 ft x 2 ft) together to equal the total area of plywood purchased, or the total amount of square feet of plywood he is purchasing in all.
<span>a. 7 fireflies are caught per minute.
b. 19 fireflies were already caught prior to the contest starting.
a.
Looking at the equations (3m + 13) and (4m + 6) where m is equal to the number of minutes since the contest began, it's obvious that there are 3+4 = 7 fireflies caught per minute.
b.
One again, look at the two equations. Or for that matter, calculate them both and add the results for m=0 (the moment the contest began). And upon doing so, you'll see that 13 + 6 = 19 fireflies were caught prior to the competition starting.</span>

Step-by-step explanation:
The orientation of the ladder with the wall forms a right triangle. The ladder length is the hypotenuse of the triangle, the distance between the ladder at ground level and the base of the wall is the horizontal leg of the triangle, the height of the ladder is the vertical leg of the triangle.
