Use the power rule
d(x^n)/dx = n·x^(n-1)
to form the derivative.
f'(x) = 4·2x -4
f'(x) = 8x - 4
Now, substitute "a" for "x" to find f'(a):
f'(a) = 8a - 4
Your awnser is : x= 8+5a/a+b
it cant be a negative number or zero
so now you are left with 0.5, 2 and 7.9
15.7 - 0.5 = 15.2 ( 15.2/2 = 7.6) this is possible
15.7 - 2 = 13.7 ( 13.7/2 = 6.85) this is possible
15.7 - 7.9 = 7.8 ( 7.8/2 = 3.9) (7.9/2 = 3.95) since the sides would be shorter than half the base this is not possible to form a triangle
so b can be either 0.5 or 2

I believe there are 35 backpacks in all. 2 closets have 6 shelves all together. Then 6*5=35.
