Answer:

B. y² – 5y = 750

C. 750 – y(y – 5) = 0

E. (y + 25)(y – 30) = 0

I'm assuming the 2 in the second option is supposed to be an exponent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length = y

Width = y-5

Length × Width = Area

Area = y(y-5) = 750

Distribute.

y²-5y=750 (B is correct)

If you factor the equation above

(y + 25)(y – 30) = 0 (E is correct)

Area = y(y-5) = 750

Subtract y(y-5) from both sides.

750-y(y-5) = 0 (C is correct)

before getting to school john has a few errands to run john has to walk 5 blocks to the galley and 9 blocks to the library befor

Serggg [28]

Answer:

9 blocks

Step-by-step explanation:

The total of what John has already walked and the number more he must walk will be equal to the number he has to walk to get to school.

12 + more = 5 + 9 + 7

more = 9 + 5 + 7 - 12 . . . . . subtract 12 from both sides

more = 9

John must walk 9 blocks more.

_____

We recognize that 5+7 = 12, so that last part of the sum totals zero.

what is the maximum volume of water a hamster bath can hold with a depth of 1 2/3, a length of 2 1/3 inches, and a width of 2 in

8_murik_8 [283]

The volume is 70/9 or 7 7/9.
=========================================
$\frac{5}{3} \times \frac{7}{3} \times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{70}{9}$
$\frac{70}{9} = 7 \frac{7}{9}$
$l \times w \times h = v$

How To Round 17 5/8 To The Nearest Whole Number

Verdich [7]

Answer:
18

Explanation:
To round a number to the nearest whole number, we would check the fraction part:
If the fraction is less than 0.5, then we would simply ignore the fraction
If the fraction is equal to or more than 0.5, then we would add 1 to the whole number and eliminate the fraction.

In the given , we have:
 $17 \frac{5}{8}$ .

The fraction part is $\frac{5}{8}$ which is greater than 0.5
This means that we would add one to the whole number (round it up) and eliminate the fraction.
Therefore, the answer would be 18.

Hope this helps :)
