B. 17.16 represents a credit of $17.16; "credits" mean that you're receiving something, so it's added. A is incorrect because it shows the money being taken away and that isn't what a credit does. C and D aren't even the same amount of money in the question, so they aren't your answer either.
In the first grid more squares are shaded than in the 2nd grid.
<u>Answer</u>
A) 7.3 in.
Explanation
The area of a triangle = 1/2 ×base length × height
In the question given, base length = height = x
Area = 27 in²
1/2 × x × x =27
1/2×x²=27
x² = 54
x = √54
= 7.3485 in²
Elsa's answer is incorrect since there is a solution of the given equation. In the given logarithmic problem, we need to simplify the problem by transposing log2(3x+5) in the opposite side. The equation will now be log2x-log2(3x+5)=4. Using properties of logarithm, we further simplify the problem into a new form log (2x/6x+10)=4. Then transform the equation into base form 10^4=(2x/6x+10) and proceed in solving for x value which is equal to 1.667.
