Answer:
16
notice how a right triangle was formed, and the Pythagorean theorem could be used to solve this :
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a^2 + 15^2 = 17^2
a^2 + 225 = 289
a^2 = 64
a= 8
multiply it by 2 to get the side of the base
8 * 2 = 16
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
4x + 5y = - 12 → (1)
- 2x + 3y = - 16 → (2)
Eliminate the x- term by multiplying (2) by 2 and adding the result to (1)
- 4x + 6y = - 32 → (3)
Add (1) and (3) term by term
11y = - 44 ( divide both sides by 11 )
y = - 4
I think it’s positive. As it gets heavier, the cost has a positive slope, or increases. I’m not absolutely sure though
Letter D it’s incorrect, not sure tho
