Answer:  

Amount of Bonus received by Lawrence = $1500

Cost Price of the computer = $700

Cost price of a home theater = $1200

Now, Lawrence decides to buy a computer.

And we need to find the benefit and the opportunity cost of his purchase.

Since, The cost price of the computer is less than that of the bonus received by him.

So, He will be in benefit for sure.

Opportunity cost = 1500 - 700

                              = $800

Given 3x + y =17 and x+3y = -1 find the value of 3x + 3y
Phoenix [80]
3x+y=17
=> 3x=17-y
Again, x+3y=-1
=> 3y= -1-x
now, 3x+3y= (17-y)+(-1-x)
                  = 17-y-1-x
                  = 16-x-y

The height of a triangle is 8 cm more than the base. If the area is 24 cm2, find the height and base of the triangle.
Elden [556K]

Answer:

height = 12 cm

base length = 4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

area of a triangle

base length × height / 2

x = height

y = base length

x = y + 8

24 = y × (y + 8) / 2

48 = y × (y + 8) = y² + 8y

squared equation

y² + 8y - 48 = 0

solution

y = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

a = 1

b = 8

c = -48

y = (-8 ± sqrt(64 - 4×-48))/2 = (-8 ± sqrt(64 + 192))/2 =

= (-8 ± sqrt(256))/2 = (-8 ± 16)/2 = -4 ± 8

y1 = -4 + 8 = 4 cm

y2 = -4 - 8 = -12

but a negative base length did not make any sense, so only y = 4 remains.

x = y + 8 = 4 + 8 = 12 cm
