Area of a triangle is base × height ÷2
base=8x+4 x=-4/8 x=-1/2
height=3x-4 x=4/3
A=b×h÷2
A=(-1/2×4/3)÷2
A=(-4/6)÷2
A=(-4/6)÷2/1 to divide by fractions flip the second and multiply
A=-4/6×1/2
A=-4/12
A=-1/3
Part A:
Six Tents Holds 42 People
Nine Tents Holds 63 People
10 Tents Holds 70 People
Part B:
Number of tents|||Number of people
1 |||7
6 |||42
9 |||63
10 |||70
Part C:
Tents=x
1x=7 people
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2x > 10 Divide by 2
2x/2 >10/2
x > 5
x cannot be 5 or anything smaller.
In English, x >5 reads as x must be greater than 5. (It can't be equal to 5 because 5 is not greater than 5)
The only two items that work are
8 which is greater than 5 and
30 which is also greater than 5
Answer: the most straight-forward way to prove this is to plug -5 in the equation as the value of x. If the the equality holds, it is proven that x=-5:
3x+1=-14 | use x=-5
3(-5)+1=-14
-15+1=-14
-14=-14 --> equality holds --> x=-5 is a solution to 3x+1=-14
