Should be 1204.75? use this answer to check your work!
My work:
14 times 18 (since there’s two triangles) = 252
36 times 28 = 1008
6.5 times 8.5 = 55.25
(1008 + 252) - 55.25 = 1204.75
Rearrange to: x^2 + 18x - 25 = 0
Then factorise (I like to do it by completing the square):
(x + 9)^2 -81 -25 = 0
(x + 9)^2 = 106
x + 9 = sqrt(106)
The sol'ns are:
x = -9 + and - sqrt(106)
Answer:
<h2>x = 35</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the angles are vertical angles, they must be equal.
3x + 7 = 112
3x = 105
x = 35
Check
3(35) + 7 = 112
112 = 112 Correct
Answer:
and

Step-by-step explanation:
Assume that Mike bought only cookies and hot dogs.
The total can be represented as:
--- (1)
And the amount spent can be represented as:
--- (2)
Required
Determine the system of equation
Let c represents the number of cookies and h, number of hot dogs.
implies 
And
Cost of cookies = 0.75 * c
Cost of hot dogs = 1.10 * h
So, we have:

Hence, the equations are:
and
