A) Height -7 = base
B) .5 * height * base = 60
Substituting A into B
B) .5 * height * (height -7) = 60
B) .5*height^2 -3.5*height = 60
B) .5*height^2 -3.5*height -60 = 0
Using the quadratic formula:
Height = 15
Subtracting 7 gives us the base length
Base = 8

Double-Check
.5 * 15 * 8 = 60
Answer:
a = 9.6 b = 11.2
Step-by-step explanation:
10 percent of 8 is .8
8 + (8 x .1) = 8.8
8.8 + .8 = 9.6
She will be paid 9.6 dollars after 1 full year of working, because working for one year is 12 months, and thats 10 percent of 8 twice. You can also put that as 20 percent of 8, aka 1.6
When you do 8+1.6 it equals 9.6
For the second part, that is 24 months, so 10 percent of 8 4 times. .8+.8+.8+.8 = 3.2
8+3.2 = 11.2
She will be paid 11.2 dollars after 2 full years of working.
Your answer isnt wrong, I dont know why your teacher is saying it is.
9) x= -6
10) x= 3/2
11) x= -4,0,5
12) no solution
Answer:
The distributive property allows you multiply a sum in parenthesis by multiplying each addend separately, then add the products.
Step-by-step explanation:
How to use the distributive law example.
2(x+4) = 16
To use the distributive law in this example multiply 3 by all terms in the parenthesis. Multiply 2 and x, then 2 and 4 to open the parenthesis.
2x+8=16
That is how you use the distributive law.
To continue solving, subtract 8 from both sides.
2x+8-8=16-8
2x=8
Divide 2 from both sides.
2x/2=8/2
x=4
Hope this helps!
If not, I am sorry.
