If you noticed, A= $\frac{1}{2}$ BH is the formula for finding the area for a triangle. Your goal is to get B by it's self. Your first step will be to clear of the fraction first, so you will multiply both sides by 2. 2(A)=2( $\frac{1}{2}$ BH). On the left, you have 2×A= On the right side, you have 2( $\frac{1}{2}$ BH), but since you have a number in the equation, you will only use 2× $\frac{1}{2}$ . To solve 2× $\frac{1}{2}$ , you will cnacel out both 2's and you have 1. 1×BH will still equal BH, so you are now left will B×H.

(Your new equation looks like this by the way). 2A=BH

Since you need to get B by its self, the way to clear the H away from the B is by dividing. You will now divide the B and H aswell as 2A and H. (It will look like this) $\frac{2A}{H} = \frac{BxH}{H}$ . (Again when you have the same number or letter, you cross it out. When you divide, you won't change anything on the left side, and all you have to do on the right id to cross out the H next to the B and cross out the H on the bottom of the equation). You should be left with $\frac{2A}{H}$ = B. Now you can turn it around for your final answer. B= $\frac{2A}{H}$ .

Please let me know if i helped, how I did, and if you have any questions.

Dwayne's family has many pets. at the house they have both cats and birds. between all the cats and birds, they have 16 eyes and

densk [106]

Let C be the number of cats and B be the number of birds.
Each cat has 4 legs while each bird has 2 legs. Thus,
4C + 2B = 22
2B = 22 - 4C

Each cat and each bird has 2 eyes
2C + 2B = 16
Substituting 2B
2C + 22 - 4C = 16
2C = 6
C = 3
2B = 22 - 4(3)
B = 5

2 cats and 5 birds
