Step-by-step explanation:
the area of a triangle
baseline × height / 2
in our case
baseline × height / 2 = 60 in²
height = 6×baseline - 16
baseline × (6×baseline - 16) / 2 = 60
baseline × (3×baseline - 8) = 60
3×baseline² - 8×baseline = 60
baseline = x
3x² - 8x - 60 = 0
general solution to a quadratic equation is
x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)
in our case
a = 3
b = -8
c = -60
x = (8 ± sqrt(64 - 4×3×-60))/(2×3) =
= (8 ± sqrt(64 + 720))/6 = (8 ± sqrt(784))/6 =
= (8 ± 28)/6
x1 = (8 + 28)/6 = 36/6 = 6
x2 = (8 - 28)/6 = -20/6 = -10/3
x2 as a negative number is not a valid solution for a length in a geometric shape.
so, x = 6 in is our solution for the baseline.
height = 6x - 16 = 6×6 - 16 = 36 - 16 = 20 in
base = 6 in

Answer:
b. -150
Step-by-step explanation:
We usually take elevation to be positive above sea level, and negative below sea level. If the elevation is below sea level, it is negative. If it is within 200 ft of sea level, the magnitude of the negative number is 200 or less. That is, the elevation must satisfy ...
-200 ≤ elevation < 0
The only answer choice in that range is -150.
Ethan's elevation in feet could be -150.

Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the quantity of snack mix Jared guest ate, we multiply the quantity of snack mix the guest ate by the quantity of snack mix Jared made. i.e we determine 
by multiplying both fractions together
quantity of snack mix Jared guest ate =
