A) Height -7 = base
B) .5 * height * base = 60
Substituting A into B
B) .5 * height * (height -7) = 60
B) .5*height^2 -3.5*height = 60
B) .5*height^2 -3.5*height -60 = 0
Using the quadratic formula:
Height = 15
Subtracting 7 gives us the base length
Base = 8

Double-Check
.5 * 15 * 8 = 60
Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute n for 10, 11 and 13
45 - 10 = 35
45 - 11 = 34
45 - 12 = 33
The answer is ten because when substituting n for 10, the equation
35 = 45 - 10
is true
Answer:
the price for one pretzel was $1.75
Step-by-step explanation:
d for drinks
p for pretzel
3d + 3p = 9
3d = 9 -3p
d = 3 - p
replace d = 3 - 9 into 4d + 2p = 8.5
4d + 2p = 8.5
4(3 - p) + 2p = 8.5
12 - 4p + 2p = 8.5
-2p = 8.5 - 12
-2p = -3.5
p = 1.75
