Area = (base)*(height)
15 = (x+7)(x-7)
(x+7)(x-7) = 15
x^2 - 49 = 15
x^2 - 49+49 = 15+49
x^2 = 64
sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(64)
x = 8 ... note that x can't be negative

If x = 8, then the base is...
x+7 = 8+7 = 15

Therefore the base is 15 units. 
(the height is x-7 = 8-7 = 1 unit)

Need help solving for X

You can find the complementary angle for 28° first, which is 90°-28°=62°. Since this is a right triangle, you can then use trigonometry to find x (the hypotenuse). You have the angle and the adjacent side, so plug and play:

cos 62° = 350 / x
x = 350 / cos 62°
x = 745.5 ft

Noelle and Micah went to the bank to open new checking accounts. The equation C=0.2n+1.20 represents the monthly cost, C, in dol
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

C = $2.40

n = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

For Noelle,

Equation that represents the monthly cost 'C',

C = 0.2n + 1.20

Here, n = number of checks written in a month

For Micah,

Monthly cost for writing checks 'C' = $1.20

Number of checks 'n' = 3

Since, Cost of writing checks ∝ Number of checks written

C' ∝ n

C' = kn

k = \frac{C'}{n}

Here, k = proportionality constant

For C' = 1.2 and n = 3

k = \frac{1.2}{3}

k = 0.4

Equation will be,

C' = 0.4n

For any month C = C'

Therefore, 0.2n + 1.20 = 0.4n

0.4n - 0.2n = 1.20

0.2n = 1.20

n = 6

Number of checks written by Noelle and Micah = 6

For n = 6,

C = 0.2(6) + 1.20

C = $2.40

Cost of writing checks = $2.40
