Answer:

3 inches and 9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a trapezoid is given by

A = 1/2 (b1+b2)*h  where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the bases

b1 =b

b2 =b1+6  = b+6

h =6

A = 36

Substituting in what we know

36 = 1/2 (b+b+6)*6

Simplifying

36 = 3 (2b+6)

36/3 = 3/3 (2b+6)

Divide each side by 3

12 = 2b+6

Subtract 6 from each side

12-6 =2b+6-6

6 =2b

Divide each side by2

6/2 =2b/2

3=b

b1 =b =3

b2 =b1+6  = b+6 = 3+6 =9

One base is 3 and the other is 9

Can somebody explain Literal equations to solve for a given variable? i am so confused about it
anastassius [24]

The explanation of using Literal equations to solve for a given variable is as explained below.

How to solve Literal Equations?

Literal equations are equations containing two or more variables; at least one independent variable and one dependent variable

To solve a literal equation means to rewrite the equation so a different variable stands alone on one side of the equals sign. We have to be told for which variable we want to solve.

Linear equations in one variable may take the form ax + b = 0  and are solved using basic algebraic operations.

We begin by classifying linear equations in one variable as one of three types: identity, conditional, or inconsistent. An identity equation is true for all values of the variable.

Answer:

y=-3x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

im assuming that you need the equation of the table

to find slope, y2-y1/x2-x1    10-4/-2-0

6/-2=-3   slope=-3  

y=mx+b   just sub in the numbers from a point in the table

10=-3(-2)+b

10=6+b

b=4

y=-3x+b
