Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

The height of the sail on a boat is 7 feet less than 3 times the length of its base.

Let the length of the base is x.

ATQ,

Height = (3x-7)

Area of the sail is 68 square feet.

Formula for area is given by :

A=lb\\\\68=x(3x-7)\\\\3x^2-7x=68\\\\3x^2-7x-68=0

x = 8 feet and x = -3.73 feet

So, length is 8 feet

Height is 3(8)-7 = 17 feet.

So, its height and the length of the base is 17 feet and 8 feet respectively.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

If a number is to the power of a negative number, then it is just that number's reciprocal: e.g. y⁻ˣ = \frac{1}{y^{x} }

Therefore, m⁻² will be m² in the denominator, as n⁻³ will be n³ in the numerator.

That will look like \frac{3n^{3} }{5m^{2} }.

So, that is C.

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 15=7x-6

To solve this equation, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation algebraically. I see that we have like terms, but they are on opposite sides of the equal sign. Let's add 6 to both sides.

21=7x

To isolate x, divide both sides by 7.

x=3
