A = (1/2) b * h
h = b - 5
42 = (1/2) * b * (b - 5)
42 = (1/2) * b^2 - 5b
multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction (1/2)
2(42) = 2(1/2) *b^2 - 5b
84 = b^2 -5b
Since this is a quadratic equation, subtract 84 from both sides so that it is set = to zero.
b^2 - 5b - 84 = 0
Now factor.
(b - 12)(b + 5) = 0
b - 12 = 0; b = 12
b + 5 = 0; b = -5
You can't have a negative length so the answer is 12m
To check the answer:
A = (1/2) * 12* 7
A = 42 m^2
Answer:
14-3x=26
Step-by-step explanation:
When it says "is" and then a number, that means that it is the answer. In this case, 26.
Product means multiplying.

Answer:
a. -4
Step-by-step explanation:
When using the "diamond method" for factoring quadratics, the bottom number is the coefficient of the linear term. In this quadratic, it is -4.
The bottom number is -4.

I don't know how to do this thing
Answer:
In order of least money saved to most money saved: Katrina, Susan, Gabrielle, Savanna
Step-by-step explanation:
You can first change all of them to either percentages or fractions with the same denominator. I chose to use percentages. Thus Savanna's percentage of money saved would be 90%, Katrina would've saved 80% and Susan would've saved around 83%.
From here you just order from least to greatest.
