melissa is planning a rectangular vegetable garden with a square patch for tomatoes. she wants the length of the garden to exceed three times the length of the tomato patch by 2 feet. she also wants the garden’s width to exceed the width of the tomato patch by 5 feet.

a. melissa wants to know how the width and length of the garden relate to the length of the square tomato patch. if each side of the tomato patch is x feet, write the functions and to represent the garden’s width and length, respectively.

b. write the function representing the area of the garden in terms of x.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. width = x +5 . . . . . . 5 ft more than the size of the tomato patch

  length = 3x +2 . . . . . 2 ft more than 3 times the size of the tomato patch

__

b. area = length × width = (3x +2)(x +5)

  area = 3x² +17x +10

step-by-step explanation:

try remembering the steps

answer:   35 % is the probability of a late departure or an early arrival.

step-by-step explanation:

let l represents the late departure and e represents the early departure.

then, according to the question,

p(l) = 12 %,   p(e) = 27 % and = 4 %

and, we have to find out,

but, we know that,

which is the required equation that will use to find the probability of a late departure or an early departure.

therefore,   the probability of a late departure or an early arrival =   35 %
