Mathematics
1 answer:
damaskus [11]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

6 and -14

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the triangle = 1/2 ab

42 = 1/2 (x)(x+8)

42 *2 = x(x+8)

84 = x²+8x

x²+8x-84 = 0

x²+14x-6x-84 = 0

x(x+14)-6(x+14) = 0

x-6 = 0 and x+14 = 0

x = 6 and -14

Hence the values of x are 6 and -14

Misha increased her test score from 60% to 80%.. What was the approximate percent increase of Misha's test score?. 25%. 33%. 66%
Anvisha [2.4K]

we know that

Using the original score as the basis

If Misha increased her test score from 60% to 80%

then

the increase variation is equal to

80%-60%=20%


to find the approximate percent increase of Misha's test score we apply a rule of three

if 60%--------------> represents 100%

20%----------------->x

x=20*100/60

x=33.33%

therefore


the answer is

the approximate percent increase of Misha's test score is 33%
