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)

a cell phone company has a basic monthly plan of $40plus $0.45 for many minutes ised over 700. John was charged a total of $48.1
jonny [76]
Cost of month plan = $40

Cost of minutes used = $0.45 after 700 minutes

Total cost = $48.10

Let x be the total minutes used
Total cost = 40 + 0.45(x - 700)

------------------------------------------------------------------
Form the equation and solve x
------------------------------------------------------------------
40 + 0.45(x - 700) = 48.10
40 + 0.45x - 315 = 48.10
0.45x - 275 = 48.10
0.45x = 48.10 + 275
0.45x = 323.10
x = 323.10 ÷ 0.45
x = 718

Answer: John had used 718 mins this month
