The answer to the question is C.
-5x divided by -5x to cancel the out the x and then 30 divided by -5, hope this helped!
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n be the age of the youngest sister. Since the ages are consecutive odd integers, the next sister's age is n+2, and the oldest sister is n+4. the following equation represents the relationship between the girls' ages.
n + 3(n + 4) = 5(n + 2) - 5
n + 3n + 12 = 5n + 10 - 5
4n + 12 = 5n +5
-4n -5 -4n -5
7 = n
so the sisters are 7, 9, and 11
Step-by-step explanation:
A fence for a rectangular garden with one side against an existing wall is constructed by using 60 feet of fencing.
Perimeter of rectangle (3 sides)= 60 feet
Let 'x' be the width of the wall
Formula for the area of the rectangle is
Replace the length we got using perimeter
To find out the maximum are we take derivative
find out second derivative to check whether x=15 is maximum
second derivative is negative
So, Maximum area at x=15
To find maximum area we plug in 15 for x in A(x)
So, maximum area is 225 square feet
