Answer:
-4 < x < 6
Step-by-step explanation:
By the Pythagorean theorem,
.. x^2 +(x -46)^2 = (x +4)^2
.. 2x^2 -92x +2116 = x^2 +8x +16
.. x^2 -100x +2100 = 0
.. (x -50)^2 -400 = 0
.. x = 50 ±20 . . . . . only x=70 makes any sense in the problem
The height, x, of the tree is 70 meters.

Answer:
if we take the number of quarters Barrett have to be x we know Penelope has twice that ie 2x. so in total they have 2x+x = 60, 3x = 60; so x= 60/3 = 20.
Barrett has 20 quarters.
