Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
12^2 is the greatest number that is closest to 148. then there is 4 as the smaller number 12-4=8 
144+4=148
 
        
             
        
        
        
Substituting m for 9
h(9) = 9^2 - 3*9
h(9) = 81 -27
h(9) = 54

There's only one solution...the one you get when you divide both sides by 22 to solve for x.  902/22 = 41.  That exponent on the x, the one you don't see, is a "1" which tells us that there is only 1 solution to this problem.  If your x is squared, then you have 2 solutions; if it's cubed, you have 3, etc.

Brennon should make about $212.05. since 153/18 is 8.5, all we do is multiply 8.5 by 25. that gives us 212.5, convert it to money and you get $212.05.
