Answer:

8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Area= 64 square feet

Base= x feet

Height= x+8 feet

The expression for the area

A= 1/2b*h

substitute

64= 1/2*x*(x+8)

64= 1/2*x^2+8x

64= (x^2+8x)/2

cross multiply

64*2= x^2+8x

128= x^2+8x

rearrange

x^2+8x-128= 0

using the quadratic formula

a=1

b=8

c=-128

x= -b±√b^2-4ac/2a

x= -1±√8^2-4*1*-128/2*1

simplifying

x= 8

x=-16

Hence the height of the base is

h= 8 feet

PLEASE HELP 60 POINTS!!!!!!Sal’s Sandwich Shop sells wraps and sandwiches as part of its lunch specials.
Zanzabum

2x + 3y = 1,470

To solve using the slope intercept method, we need to solve for y.

First, subtract 2x from each side.

3y = -2x +1470

The, we need to divide both sides of the equation by by 3 to solve for y

y = -2/3 x + 490.


We know the y intercept is 470, which means on the y axis we place at point at positive 490.  The slope is -2/3.  We go down 2 units and over to the right 3 units and place a point.  We draw a line connecting these two points extending only to the right until it reaches the x axis. We cannot have negative x because we cannot sell negative lunch specials.  We cannot have negative y, because y is the number of specials sold.
