% means per 100
so when figuring out percents it's good to use 100
so
on $100 7% would mean $7
on $50 7% would mean $3.5
in $200 7% would mean $14
The answer is 15 cubes with side lengths of 0.5 inches. I did this by adding up all the edge lengths then dividing the answer by 0.5 inches
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is

We group the linear terms to get:


We compare to

This means
a=1, b=-6 and c=-10
We plug in the values into the quadratic formula:

This gives us





The solutions are

or

Factors of 14: 7 and 2
7 + 2 = 9
