The correct answer is C. She makes an amount of money per hour x, then she works five hours so 5x, she then spends 18 on pizza so 5x-18, and then has 42 left over. 5x-18=42
4(a-2)=3(a+4)
4a-8=3a+12
a=20
Answer:
x = ± 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
f(x) = x² - 144
To find the roots set f(x) = 0, that is
x² - 144 = 0 ( add 144 to both sides )
x² = 144 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = ±
= ± 12
Answer:
height = 12 cm
base length = 4 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
area of a triangle
base length × height / 2
x = height
y = base length
x = y + 8
24 = y × (y + 8) / 2
48 = y × (y + 8) = y² + 8y
squared equation
y² + 8y - 48 = 0
solution
y = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)
a = 1
b = 8
c = -48
y = (-8 ± sqrt(64 - 4×-48))/2 = (-8 ± sqrt(64 + 192))/2 =
= (-8 ± sqrt(256))/2 = (-8 ± 16)/2 = -4 ± 8
y1 = -4 + 8 = 4 cm
y2 = -4 - 8 = -12
but a negative base length did not make any sense, so only y = 4 remains.
x = y + 8 = 4 + 8 = 12 cm
