Mariah bought a shirt for $28.50 and a belt. The total cost was $45.50. Which of the following equations can be used to find the cost of the belt? A. 28.50 + b= 45.50 B. 45.50 + b= 28.50 C. b= 28.50 - 45.50 D. b= 28.50 * 45.50 Please include work!!

Explanation:

28.50 = cost of shirt

b = cost of belt, some unknown value

45.50 = total cost (given)

28.50+b = total cost (add the first two items shown above)

equate the two total cost expressions to end up with 28.50+b = 45.50

x² + 11x + 18 < 0  

[-11 ± sqrt(121 - 72)]/2 = (-11 ± 7)/2  

solution: (-9, -2)
