Marissa is painting her rectangular patio, with the exception of a bench that does not need to be painted:

Write an equation to determine the area, A, of the patio that will be painted.
A = (x + 20)(x + 10) + 12

A = (x + 20)(x + 10) − 12

A = (x + 26)(x + 12)

A = (x + 14)(x + 8)

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 Answer A is wrong.

B. A=(3+20)(3+10)-12=(23)(13)-12=299-12=287 Answer B is wrong.

C. A=(3+26)(3+15)=(29)(18)=522 Answer C is wrong.

D. A=(3+14)(3+8)=(17)(11)=187 Answer D is wrong.

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 Answer D is wrong.

8

step-by-step explanation:

to find the amount of gift bags to use all the supplies, find the gcf or greatest common factor. this is the largest number which multiplies evenly into each term.

48 has factors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12. 16, 24, 48

80 has factors: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80

64 has factors: 1, 2, 4, 8, 8, 16, 32, 64

the highest number factor they all share in common is 8. this means there will be 8 bags with 6 pencils, 10 markers, and 8 stickers in each bag.
