Answer:
I think it would be b
Step-by-step explanation:
im sorry if im wrong im not good with this stuff :c
Since the area of a triangle is in the form
area=0.5(base)(height)
height=base+7
let base=x
area=0.5(x)(7+x)
30=3.5x+0.5x^2
multiply the equation by 2
60=7x+x^2
subtract 60 from both sides
x^2+7x-60=0
(x-5)(x+12)=0
thus x=5 or x=-12 since we are only considering positive answers
x=-12 is rejected
so base=5 and height=5+7=12
Answer is -9
Multiplying by 1/4 is the same as dividing by 4
-36(1/4) = -36/4 = -9
There you go... a. 10
If we add x to both sides, we get rid of the x on the right side which leaves us 1/2x + 2 = 7. (1/2=0.5)
Then if we substract 2 from both sides, we will get 1/2x = 5
If half of x = 5, then the whole of x = 10.
