Answer:

<h2><u>B.</u> <u>It must be a positive number since it represents a number of hours.</u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

I got it right on EDG.

<em />

Simplifying

7h + -5(3h + -8) = -72

Reorder the terms:

7h + -5(-8 + 3h) = -72

7h + (-8 * -5 + 3h * -5) = -72

7h + (40 + -15h) = -72

Reorder the terms:

40 + 7h + -15h = -72

Combine like terms: 7h + -15h = -8h

40 + -8h = -72

Solving

40 + -8h = -72

Solving for variable 'h'.

Move all terms containing h to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-40' to each side of the equation.

40 + -40 + -8h = -72 + -40

Combine like terms: 40 + -40 = 0

0 + -8h = -72 + -40

-8h = -72 + -40

Combine like terms: -72 + -40 = -112

-8h = -112

Divide each side by '-8'.

h = 14

Simplifying

h = 14

Help me with this please?? Find the indicated side length(s) of this triangle in simplified radical form
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

b = 5√6

c = 10√5

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a 30-60-90 triangle

the hypotenuse is always twice the short leg

c = 2(5√2)

c = 10√5

The long leg is alway √3 times the short leg

b = √3(5√2)

b = 5√6

Lashonda is going to rent a truck for one day. There are two companies she can choose from, and they have the following prices.
DENIUS [597]

Lashonda is going to rent a truck. For mileages greater than 375 miles, company A charges more.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, Lashonda is going to rent a truck for one day.  

There are two companies she can choose from, and they have the following prices.  

Company A has no initial fee but charges 60 cents for every mile driven.  

Company B charges an initial fee of $75 and an additional 40 cents for every mile driven.  

We have to find for what mileages will Company A charge more than Company B?  

Let us use "m" for the number of miles driven,  

Then,<em> </em><em>charges by company A</em> = 60cents x m = 60m

And <em>charges by company B</em> = $75 + 40cents x m

= 75 x 100 cents + 40m = 7500 + 40m.

Now, according to given condition,

60 m>7500+40 m \rightarrow 60 m-40 m>7500 \\\\\rightarrow 20 m>7500 \rightarrow m>\frac{7500}{20} \\\\\rightarrow m>375

Hence, for mileages greater than 375 miles, company A charges more
