The answer to this question using the quadratic formula is x= -1+3√5/2 and x=-1-3<span>√5/2
</span>that is a square root, or, 3 times the square root of 5 ALL over 2, except for the 1. Same with the other one.
7h + 6b = 35.50
5h + 6b = 30.50
The difference between the 2 totals spent is $5, and there were the same number of burgers, but 2 fewer hotdogs. So $5/2 = $2.50, the cost of a hot dog. Substitute that into the equations to solve for burgers (b)
5(2.50) + 6b = 30.50
12.50 + 6b = 30.50
6b = 18
b = 3
Check the work:
7(2.50) + 6(3) =
17.50 + 18 = 35.50
Steps:
2 1/3 * 3 = 7
14 * 3 = 42
42 divided by 7 = 6
6 * 8 = 48
So, Maggie is 48 feet under the summit (-48). Therefore, the correct answer is d.
