Answer:
49b² - 36
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the factors of 49 & 36:
49 = 1, 7, 49
36 = 1, 2, 6, 18, 36
As you can tell, there are no common factors (1 does not count), therefore, the expression given is already in most factored form.
49b² - 36 is your answer.

Answer:
Senior citizen tickets = $9
Student tickets = $11
Step-by-step explanation:
We begin by converting these into simultaneous linear equation;
Senior citizen tickets = a
Student tickets = b
5a + 9b = 144
14a + 6b = 192
5a = 144 - 9b
a = 144/5 - 9b/5
a = 28.8 - 1.8b
We now substitute this into the first equation
14(28.8 - 1.8b) + 6b = 192
403.2 - 25.2b +6b = 192
-19.2b = 192 - 403.2
b = -211.2/-19.2
b = 11
Put the value of b into either equation
5a + 9b = 144
5a + 9(11) = 144
5a +99 = 144
5a = 144-99
5a = 45
a = 9
Answer:
You can use either of the following to find "a":
- Pythagorean theorem
- Law of Cosines
Step-by-step explanation:
It looks like you have an isosceles trapezoid with one base 12.6 ft and a height of 15 ft.
I find it reasonably convenient to find the length of x using the sine of the 70° angle:
x = (15 ft)/sin(70°)
x ≈ 15.96 ft
That is not what you asked, but this value is sufficiently different from what is marked on your diagram, that I thought it might be helpful.

Consider the diagram below. The relation between DE and AE can be written as ...
DE/AE = tan(70°)
AE = DE/tan(70°) = DE·tan(20°)
AE = 15·tan(20°) ≈ 5.459554
Then the length EC is ...
EC = AC - AE
EC = 6.3 - DE·tan(20°) ≈ 0.840446
Now, we can find DC using the Pythagorean theorem:
DC² = DE² + EC²
DC = √(15² +0.840446²) ≈ 15.023527
a ≈ 15.02 ft

You can also make use of the Law of Cosines and the lengths x=AD and AC to find "a". (Do not round intermediate values from calculations.)
DC² = AD² + AC² - 2·AD·AC·cos(A)
a² = x² +6.3² -2·6.3x·cos(70°) ≈ 225.70635
a = √225.70635 ≈ 15.0235 . . . feet
