Since the area of a triangle is in the form
area=0.5(base)(height)
height=base+7
let base=x
area=0.5(x)(7+x)
30=3.5x+0.5x^2
multiply the equation by 2
60=7x+x^2
subtract 60 from both sides
x^2+7x-60=0
(x-5)(x+12)=0
thus  x=5 or x=-12 since we are only considering positive answers
x=-12 is rejected
so base=5 and height=5+7=12

The sugar company will choose from two companies to transport its sugar to market. the first company charges $6500 to rent truck
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

20 ton

Step-by-step explanation:

We created a system of two separate equations to answer these questions.

"y" will be the total cost to transport the sugar

"x" will be the amount of sugar transported

Therefore, we have to:

y = 3995 + 225.50 * x

y = 6500 + 100.25 * x

We must establish these equations equal to each other because it asks how much of x is necessary to make the same amount of y, therefore:

3995 + 225.50 * x = 6500 + 100.25 * x

solved we have:

225.50 * x - 100.25 * x  = 6500 - 3995

125.25 * x = 2505

x = 2505 / 125.25

x = 20

which means that when the amount of sugar transported is 20 tons, the price is the same
