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

Part 1)
(x²+15x+65)+(2x-5)*(3x+8)
(x²+15x+65)+(6x²+16x-15x-40)
(7x²+16x+25)

the answer Part 1) is the letter B
(7x²+16x+25)

Part 2)
(4x+1)*(3x-4)-(5x²-10x-12)
(4x+1)*(3x-4)-(5x²-10x-12)
(12x²-16x+3x-4)-(5x²-10x-12)
(7x²-3x+8)

the answer Part 2) is the letter D
(7x²-3x+8)

Part 3) 
(8x²+19x+4)+(3x+2)*(x-5)
(8x²+19x+4)+(3x²-15x+2x-10)
(11x²+6x-6)

the answer part 3) is the letter A
(11x²+6x-6)

Part 4) 
(6x+1)*(3x-7)-(7x²-34x-20)
(18x²-42x+3x-7)-(7x²-34x-20)
(11x²-5x+13)

the answer Part 4) is the letter C
(11x²-5x+13)

You have $2000 to deposit for 7 years and two account options. The first earns you simple interest at a rate of 4% and the secon
pogonyaev

Answer:

First account (simple interest)

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of interest earned by the first account is ...

I = Prt = $2000·0.04·7 = $2000·0.28 = $560

The amount in the second account at the end of 7 year is ...

FV = P·(1+r)^t = $2000·1.02^7 = $2297.37

so you have earned $297.37 in interest on the second account.

$560 is more than $297, so the First Account (simple interest) earns more money.
