Tabitha wants to hang a painting in a gallery. The painting and frame must have an area of 58 square feet. The painting is 7 feet wide by 8 feet long. Which quadratic equation can be used to determine the thickness of the frame, x? image of a frame 7 feet wide by 8 feet long, with an x on the bottom and right sides

x2 + 15x − 2 = 0
x2 + 15x + 58 = 0
4x2 + 30x − 2 = 0
4x2 + 30x + 58 = 0

a

step-by-step explanation:

answer: what are the following choices

a) at most means it can cost $12 or less

so the inequality sign would be ≤

you would then need to multiply the number of toppings by the 0.35 for each one and add it to the cost of the cheese pizza.

the equation would be 9.99 + 0.35x ≤ 12

b) using the above equation:

9.99 + 0.35x ≤ 12

subtract 9.99 from each side:

0.35x ≤2.01

divide both sides by 0.35:

x ≤ 2.01 / 0.35

x ≤5.74

at most you could have 5 toppings.

the 5 topping pizza would cost: 0.35 x 5 = 1.75 + 9.99 = $11.74
