Answer:

Option A. 17.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is given that stems are in whole percent and leaves are tenths of percent which means if we take the first steam value of 5 7;

it means that 5 is whole percent and 7 will be written as  \frac{7}{10} = 0.7 percent which as a whole indicate that the first stem leaf represent 5.7% of residents aged 65 and over.

Now the highest percent of older residents for Florida will be the last stem leaf in the data given as 17 + 0.6 will represent 17.6% which is the highest among all others.

5.7% is the lowest of them all and there is no value as of 176% in the given stem leaf plot data.

Therefore option A id correct with 17.6% percent as of Florida.

mylen [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

6x - 3x^2 + 2x^2 -2x = 5x^2 + 15x

4x -x^2 = 5x^2 + 15x

-11x - 6x^2 = 0

-6x^2 - 11x = 0

use the quadratic formula

Simplify the following without using a calculator<br>a)<br>- 4 x (8-(-3)) + 7​
bulgar [2K]
-4(8-(-3))+7

Remove the parentheses, negative with negative will equal a positive so the new equation will be -4(8+3)+7. So 8+3=11, -4(11)+7. -4(11)=-44 and then add -44+7 which will equal -37
