Answer:

P=40

a + b + x = P

a = 3x    

b = x + 5

substitute for b & y

3x + (x+5) + x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

longest section 1 = a

mid length section 2 = b

shortest section 3 = x

P=40

a + b + x = P

a = 3x    

b = x + 5

substitute for b & y

3x + (x+5) + x = 40

5x + 5 = 40

5x = 35

x = 7

b = 12

a = 21

Ryan planted flowers in a rectangular garden. The width of the garden is left parenthesis x minus 5 right parenthesis(x−5) feet
Nookie1986 [14]

。☆✼★ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━  ☾  ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ★✼☆。

- The equation :

Area = length x width

- Substitute the values in :

Area = (x - 5)(x - 5 + 22)

(Note : the 'x' is for the algebraic expression x in the example above)

- Now you have to simplify the second parenthesis:

Area = (x - 5)(x + 17)

- Now expand :

Area = x^2 + 17x - 5x - 85

- Simplify by collecting like terms :

Area = x^2 + 12x - 85

(Note : x^2 means x squared)

Now you have your answer as:

x^2 + 12x - 85 feet^2

Monica took a survey of her classmates' hair and eye color. The results are in the table below.
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

let R represent red hair

let G represent green eyes

<em>from</em><em> </em><em>Baye's</em><em> </em><em>theorem</em><em>:</em>

<em>P( \frac{R}{G} ) =  \frac{P(RnG)}{P(G)}</em>

P(RnG) = 5

P(G) = { \sum}(green \: hair) \\  = (3 + 5 + 5) \\  = 13

Therefore:

P( \frac{R}{G} ) =  \frac{5}{13}  \\  = 0.385

The conditional relative frequency = 0.385
