Mark's father is 55.  f=55

And this is equal to twice Mark's age plus 15, f=2m+15

Since f=f we can say

2m+15=55  subtract 15 from both sides

2m=40  divide both sides by 2

m=20

So mark is twenty years old.

We can check...

2m+15=55, since m=20 this becomes

2(20)+15=55

40+15=55

55=55

Mark is 20. 55 - 15 = 40, 40 / 2 = 20. Mark is 20

The height of a triangle is 7 cm longer than its base.
katrin [286]
A) Height -7 = base
B) .5 * height * base = 60
Substituting A into B
B) .5 * height * (height -7) = 60
B)  .5*height^2  -3.5*height = 60
B)  .5*height^2 -3.5*height -60 = 0
Using the quadratic formula:
Height = 15
Subtracting 7 gives us the base length
Base = 8
**************************************************************
Double-Check
.5 * 15 * 8 = 60

Which of the following correctly completes the square for the equation
rjkz [21]

Answer:

A. (x + 2)^2 = 31.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 4x = 27

x^2 + 4x - 27 = 0

A. (x + 2)^2 = 31

x^2 + 4x + 4 - 31 = 0

x^2 + 4x - 27 = 0

This option corresponds to the given equation, so it is correct.

B. (x + 2)^2 = 43

x^2 + 4x + 4 - 43 = 0

x^2 + 4x - 39 = 0

This does not correspond to the equation.

C. (x + 4)^2 = 31

x^2 + 8x + 16 - 31 = 0

x^2 + 8x - 15 = 0

This does not correspond to the equation.

D. (x+4)^2 = 43

x^2 + 8x + 16 - 43 = 0

x^2 + 8x - 27 = 0

This does not correspond to the equation.

So, your answer is A. (x + 2)^2 = 31.
