Answer:
A = (x + 15)(x + 10) − 5
Step-by-step explanation:
(x+15)(x+10)-5=A would be a solution
To make this easier, let's assign x a value. Let's say 3.
(3+15)(3+10)-5=A
(18)(13)-5=A
234-5=A
A=229
Now with this, we put x in the answer choice and the answer that gives an area of 229 is correct.
A. A=(3+20)(3+10)+12=(23)(13)+12=299+12=311 <u>Answer A is wrong.</u>
B. A=(3+20)(3+10)-12=(23)(13)-12=299-12=287 <u>Answer B is wrong.</u>
C. A=(3+26)(3+15)=(29)(18)=522 <u>Answer C is wrong.</u>
D. A=(3+14)(3+8)=(17)(11)=187 <u>Answer D is wrong.</u>
It's either I'm wrong or the answer choices are wrong.
New answer choices!
A. A=(3+20)(3+11)
=(23)(14)=322 Answer A is wrong.
B. A=(3+15)(3+10)+5
=(18)(13)+5=234+5=239 Answer B is wrong.
C. A=(3+15)(3+10)−5
=(18)(13)-5=234-5=229 Answer C is correct.
D. A=(3+9)(3+10)=(12)(13)=156 <u>Answer D is wrong.</u>
6.625 Gallons, 26.5 Quarts, or 53 Pints this is the answer
Find the GCF of 15 and 35
15=3*5
35=7*5
The Greatest Common Factor here is 5
Divide both the numerator and denominator by this value to get the simplest form.
15/5=3
35/5=7
Final answer: 3/7
