Adding what rational expressions?
A.
7 times number of cats=pay
if pay=49 then
7 times number of cats=49
divide both sides by 7
number of cats=7
da equaton can be
c=number of cats
7c=49
he fed 7 cats
B.
7c=49
divide both sides by 7
equality property of division
(7c)/7=49/7
math fact
(7/7)c=7
1c=7
identity property of division
c=7
identity property of multiplication
7 cats
C. 7 cats
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-2 x 14 = -28
b is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:

Area of rectangle = 408 in²
Length = 3x-2 and width = x
The area of a rectangle is given by :
A = lb
(3x-2)x = 408
x = 12 inch and x = -11.33 in
Neglecting negative value,
The width of rectangle = 12 inch
The length of rectangle = 3x-2 = 3(12)-2 = 34 inch

Base of triangle = 2x+2
Height = x
The area of a triangle is given by :

x = 24 cm and x = -25 cm
Neglecting negative value, x = 24 cm
Base = 2x+2 = 2(24)+2 = 50 cm
Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
The first amount is larger by 25% or .25a
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets increase a by 50%
The increase is .5a
So the new value is a + .5a = 1.5a
Now we will decrease the new value by 50%
decrease = .5 (1.5a) = .75a
The new value of a is 1.5a - .75a = .75a
a > .75a
a - .75a = .25a
a is bigger than .75a by .25a
