Answer:
obtuse
Step-by-step explanation:
The law of cosines tells you ...
b² = a² +c² -2ac·cos(B)
Substituting for a²+c² using the given equation, we have ...
b² = b²·cos(B)² -2ac·cos(B)
We can subtract b² to get a quadratic in standard form for cos(B).
b²·cos(B)² -2ac·cos(B) -b² = 0
Solving this using the quadratic formula gives ...

The fraction ac/b² is always positive, so the term on the right (the square root) is always greater than 1. The value of cos(B) cannot be greater than 1, so the only viable value for cos(B) is ...

The value of the radical is necessarily greater than ac/b², so cos(B) is necessarily negative. When cos(B) < 0, B > 90°. The triangle is obtuse.
B. 17.16 represents a credit of $17.16; "credits" mean that you're receiving something, so it's added. A is incorrect because it shows the money being taken away and that isn't what a credit does. C and D aren't even the same amount of money in the question, so they aren't your answer either.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve, use inverse operations:

Now we solve for both +/- 7.
x+6=7
x=1
x+6=-7
x=-13
Answer:
13
Step-by-step explanation:
a pair=2
so 25/each pair of towns
25/2=12+1=13
