B = 2 + 2H 
A = 20 ft^2
H = H

Since the Area of a Triangle is Base * Height then the formula should be:
A = BH
20 = H(2+2H)
20 = 2H^2 + 2H
0 = 2H^2 + 2H - 20 

Find the zeros of the quadratic equation through substituting the values of a,b, and c. You will get the zeros of x = 2.7 and -3.7. The only thing that would make sense is you use the x=2.7 because there are no negative heights.

Since b = 2h+2 
b= 2(2.7) + 2
b= 5.4 + 2 
b=7.4

I don't know where you got 4 and 10, but what I got is different.

You are saving money for a summer camp that costs $1800. You have saved $500 so far, and you have 14 more weeks to save the tota
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

$92.86

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's AT LEAST 1800, the inequality sign would be ≥ 1800

Equation:

500 + 14x ≥ 1800

14x ≥ 1800 - 500

14x ≥ 1300

x ≥ 92.86

An equation is:
2(x+3)-7=9
Distribute the 2
2(x)+2(3) -7=9
2x+6-7=9
Combine like terms
2x-1=9
Add one to both sides
2x-1+1=9+1
2x=10
Divide both sides by two to isolate the variable.
2x/2=10/2
x=m

marin [14]

Answer:

The percent error in his estimate is<u> 16.67%</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Christopher estimates it will take him half an hour to complete his math homework.

He is able to complete it in 25 minutes.

Now, to find the percent error  in his estimate.

Time estimates of completing homework = 30 minutes.

Time actual taken to complete homework = 25 minutes.

Error in estimate = Time estimates of completing homework - Time actual taken to complete homework.

Error in estimate = 30 minutes - 25 minutes.

Error in estimate = 5 minutes.

Now, to get the percent error:

Percent\ error =\frac{Error\ in\ estimate}{Time\ estimates\ of\ completing\ homework} \times 100.

Percent\ error=\frac{5}{30} \times 100

Percent\ error=\frac{500}{30}

Percent\ error=16.67\%.

Therefore, the percent error in his estimate is 16.67%.

Question 30 The Royal Fruit Company produces two types of fruit drinks. The first type is pure fruit juice, and the second type
Flura [38]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The Royal Fruit Company produces two types of fruit drinks. The first type is 65% pure fruit juice, and the second type is 90% pure fruit juice. The company is attempting to produce a fruit drink that contains 85% pure fruit juice. How many pints of each of the two existing types of drink must be used to make 80 pints of a mixture that is 85% pure fruit juice?

Answer: Let x be the number of pints of the first fruit juice (i.e 65%) and y be the number of pints of the second fruit juice (i.e 90%).

Since the total number of pints to make the 85% pure fruit juice is 80, it can be represented using the equation:

x + y = 80                              .                  .                 .    1)

Also, x pints of the first juice = 0.65x, y pints of the second juice = 0.9y and 80 pints of the mixture to be produced = 80(0.85) = 68. Therefore:

0.65x + 0.9y = 68               .                 .                  .        2)

We have to solve equation 1 and 2 simultaneously, first multiply equation 1 by 0.65 to get equation 3:

0.65x + 0.65y = 52            .                  .               .        3)

Subtract equation 3 from 2 and solve for y:

0.25y = 16

y = 16/0.25 = 64

y = 64 pints

Put y = 64 in equation 1:

x + 64 = 80

x = 80 - 64 = 16

x = 16 pints

Therefore 16 pints of the 65% pure fruit juice, and 64 pints of the 90% pure fruit juice is required to make 80 pints of 80% fruit juice.
