Base = distance from O to C = x+1 units
Height = vertical distance from x axis to point B = x units

Area = Base*Height
42 = (x+1)*x
42 = x^2+x
x^2+x = 42
x^2+x-42 = 0
(x-6)(x+7) = 0
x-6=0 or x+7=0
x=6 or x=-7

Ignore the negative x value. It makes no sense to have a negative height.

The only practical solution is x = 6

If x = 6, then x+1 = 6+1 = 7

So the base is x+1 = 7 and the height is x = 6

vlabodo [156]

This is because from the equation you know that he pays 29.95+2.00 for one light therefore, if we use x to represent the amount of lights--

X(29.95+2.00) 

is an equation you can use to solve for the amount Mr. Davis payed for his lights.

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

The number is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number

product is multiply

12 + (2x) = 4x -8

Subtract 2x from each side

12+2x-2x = 4x-2x-8

12 = 2x-8

Add 8 to each side

12+8 = 2x-8+8

20 = 2x

Divide by 2

20/2 = 2x/2

10 =x
