Let x=height. then base is x+4. plug what we know into the formula for the area of a triangle
A=½bh
16=½*(x+4)*(x)
32=x²+4x
x²+4x-32=0
(x+8)(x-4)=0
so x can be-8 our 4. when we plug-8 in for x we get a negative height. since a triangle cannot have a negative side length we discard-8 and try 4. height=4 and base=8
Solid paper costs 1.75 each
Printed paper costs 2.50 each
Given:
Ben = $43.50 (12 rolls solid paper and 9 rolls of
printed paper)
Joel = $51.50 (8 rolls solid paper and 15 rolls of
printed paper)
Let x = solid paper
Let y= printed paper
12x + 9y = 43.50
8x + 15y = 51.50
Find X:
8x + 15y = 51.50
8x = 51.50 - 15y
x= (51.50 - 15y)8
Substitute X:
12x + 9y = 43.50
12(51.50 - 15y)/8 + 9y = 43.50
(618 - 180y)/8 + 9y = 43.50
8 (618 - 180y)/8 + 8*9y = 43.50 * 8
618-180y + 72y =348
-108y = 348 - 618
-108y =-270
-108y/-108=-270/-108
Y= 2.50
x = (51.50 - 15y)/8
x = (51.50 - 15(2.5) /8
x= (51.50 - 37.50\8
X = 14/8
X = 1.75
To check: x = 1.75; y = 2.5
12x + 9y = 43.50
12(1.75) + 9(2.5) = 43.50
21 + 22.50 = 43.50
43.50 = 43.50
8x + 15y = 51.50
8(1.75) + 15(2.5) = 51.50
14 + 37.50 = 51.50
51.50 = 51.50
Hope that helps! Have a good day :)
4,400 + 17,600 = 22,000.
4,400 / 22,000 = 0.2
0.2 = 20%
The answer is A.
Hope this helped☺☺
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
It should NOT be "fight of the origin", rather "right of the origin".
Now let's move on to solve the question...
The x-intercept is found by setting the function equal to 0. Thus:
0 = x^3 - 9x
<em>Let's solve this using algebra:</em>
<em>
</em>
<em />
<em>Hence, x = -3 and x = 3</em>
<em />
The coordinate that is to the right of the origin is the positive one, so x = 3 is the x-intercept we are looking for.
