--------------------------------------------
Define x :
--------------------------------------------
Let the shorter leg = x
Longer leg = x + 7
Hypotenuse = x + 7 + 7 = x + 14 

--------------------------------------------
Solve x :
--------------------------------------------
a² + b² = c²
x² + (x+7)² = (x+14)²
x² + x² + 14x + 49 = x² + 28x + 196
2x² + 14x + 49 = x² + 28x + 196
x² - 14x - 147 = 0
<span>(x - 21)(x + 7) = 0
</span>x = 21 or x = - 7 (rejected, because length cannot be negative)

--------------------------------------------
Find the legs and hypotenuse:
--------------------------------------------
shorter leg = x = 21
longer leg = x + 7 = 21 + 7 = 28
hypotenuse = x + 14 = 21 + 14 = 35

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The side length of the triangles are 21m, 28, and 35m.

frosja888 [35]
Cost Price for oil change =$27 
Charge for the customers =$40 
Markup cost = Difference between selling price and cost price =$40-$27=$13  
To find the percent of markup, divide the markup cost by the cost price and multiply it by 100. 
Markup percent = (13/27)*100 
 =48.15%

Answer:  

2 hours:  3968  <u>[I don't understand the $ sign in the answer box]</u>

At midnight:  12137

Step-by-step explanation:

The bacteria are increasing by 15% every hour.  So for every hour we will have what we started with, plus 15% more.  

The "15% more" can be represented mathematically with (1 + 0.15) or 1.15.  Let's call this the "growth factor" and assign it the variable b.  b is (1 +  percent increase).

Since this per hour, in 1 hour we'll have (3000)*(1.15) = 3450

At the end of the second hour we're increased by 15% again:

(3450)*(1.15) = 3968.

Each additional hour add another (1.15) factor,  If we assign a to be the starting population, this can be represented by:

P = a(1.15)^t for this sample that increase 15% per hour.  t is time, in hours.  

If a represents the growth factor, and P is the total population, the general expression is

P = ab^t

Using this for a = 3000 and b = 1.15, we can find the total population at midnight after starting at 2PM.  That is a 10 hour period, so t = 10

P = (3000)*(1.15)^10

P = 12137
