<span> </span> <span> Let h = height. This makes the base h + 17.
h(h + 17)/2 = 55
h(h + 17) = 110
h^2 + 17h = 110
h^2 + 17h - 110 = 0
(h + 22)(h - 5) = 0
h = -22 or h = 5
Discard h = -22 because a negative height makes no sense, leaving just
h = 5in
base = 5 + 17 = 22in</span>

it takes Joey 1/6 of an hour write one thank you card. how many cards can he write in 3/4 of an hour?
Sauron [17]
1/6 of an hour is equivalent to 10/60 or 10 minutes.
To find out how much 3/4 of an hour is, change the denominator of both fraction so that they match up. We can make this easier by multiplying 4 by 15 to get 60 (hence an hour) and since we multiplied 4 by 15, we also need to multiply 3 by 15 which gets us 45.
We end up with 10/60 and 45/60 or 10 minutes and 45 minutes.
Half of 10 is 5 so we know we'll have a decimal of .5 in our answer.
4 times 10 equals 40 and 40 plus 5 equals 45, so 4.5.

Which set of points includes all of the solutions for y = negative three halves times x plus two? line going through 0 comma 2 a
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

(x,-\frac{3}{2} x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

For y= \frac{-3}{2} x+2  the set of points that include all solutions are (x,y) such that   y= \frac{-3}{2} x+2; then we have (x,y)=(x,\frac{-3}{2} x+2).

What is important to stress here is that (x,-\frac{3}{2} x+2) represents all of the solutions, while other points that we are given represent one solution  (for example, point (2,-1) is just one solution)

What is 8,792 as a fraction?
Wittaler [7]

We have a number 8.792.

To write it as a fraction first count the number of decimals and call it n (which, in our case, has a value of 3). Multiply the number with 10^n to get 8792. Then divide this number by 10^n to get \frac{8792}{10^n} from here you can either simplify (if the assignment says so, then the simplified fraction is \frac{1099}{125}) or not.

Hope this helps.
