As the number of credit hours a student takes in a semester increases, the amount of tuition, the amount of access fees, and the number of student loans available also increase. Which of the following is the independent variable?

We need to find the are of the rectangle from the given case. Letting x represent the width of the rectangle. Then, we can find the area of the rectangle as follows.

Length of rectangle=(x+5)

Width of the rectangle= x

Area of the rectangle, A= Length*width=(x+5)*x

A=x(x+5)

Thus, the area of the rectangle is x(x+5).

To find the cost-effective option, we need to find how much the consumer will spend for the given options:

2 packs of Orange and 1 pack of Cream Soda will cost $18+$5= $23

3 Packs of Orange will cost $18+$10=$28

2 packs of Root Beer and 1 pack of Cream Soda will cost 2($12)+$5=$29

5 packs of cream Soda will cost 5($5)=$25

From the above evaluation, the consumer will spend $23 for a cost effective package of soft drinks. Thus, 2 packs of Orange and 1 pack of Cream Soda will be cheaper to purchase compared to other options.

Centimeteris the appropriate unit to measure the length of a dollar bill.

We use the relation 1 L=1000 mL to convert 0.5 L to mL as follows.

Thus, 0.5 L is 500 mL.

We follow the order of operations to solve the given expression.

First, we start with the numerator and solve it as follows

[2(3+5*3)]

We start with multiplication in inner brackets, 5*3=15. The expression becomes

[2(3+15)]

Then, we conduct the addition of 3+15=18. Then, the expression yields

[2(18)]=2*18=36

Now, we solve for denominator, which is 12/2=6.

Thus, the expression is reduced into

The expression reduces into 6.

We use the calculator to determine the positive square root of 20, which is then multiplied by 20.

Using the calculator,

Multiplying the square root above with 10 becomes

The approximate value is 44.7.

To calculate the percentage increase in client volume, use the formula:

PercentageIncrease×100

Step 1: Identify values

• Old Value (Year 1): 841 clients
• New Value (Year 2): 1,072 clients

Step 2: Compute the increase

1,072−841=231

Step 3: Calculate the percentage increase

×100 ≈ 27.47%

Step 4: Choose the closest answer

The closest option is 27%.

We need to find the value of x from the given equation. First, we move the value of 10 to the right-hand side of the equation.

Add 10 to both sides of the equation

Next, we apply the absolute rule:

,   a>0, then u=a or u=-a

In this case a=12, which is greater 0. Then, the first condition becomes

Solving for x

The second condition becomes

Solving for x

Then, the value of x is -1 or 2.

We are asked to find the one of the lengths of a right-angled triangle, we use the Pythagoras theorem to find the unknown length.

First, we label the triangle as below and let the unknown length be x.

Then, we apply the Pythagoras theorem to find the value of x as:

\(a^2+b^2=c^2\)

The value of the unknown length is approximately 8.9 feet.

We are asked to find the number of gallons full tank can hold. The fraction of full tank is 1.

First, we let x be the number of gallons in full tank. Then, set the proportion equation by setting the number of gallons on the numerator and fraction of tank on denominator as follows.

Convert the mixed fraction into proper fraction and cross-multiply to find the value of x.

Converting 42/5 to a mixed fraction is 8 2/5. Thus, when the tank is full, it holds 8 2/5 gallons of water.
