There is 12 inches in a foot. Times inches by feet. You can pick a number for the feet and do trial and error until you get a number the closet to 55.

12 inches times 4 feet equals 48 inches.
12x4= 48
Now subtract 55 inches from 48 inches
55-48= 7 inches

So 4 feet and 7 inches tall

A trapezoid has a height of 6 inches, an area of 120 square inches, and one base measuring 13 inches. Find the length of the oth
kirill [66]

Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

b1 = 13

b2 = ?

h = 6

Area = 120

Formula

Area = (b1 + b2) * h/2         Multiply by 2

2Area = (b1 + b2)*h           Divide by h

2Area/h = b1 + b2              Subtract b1 from both sides

2Area/h - b1 = b2

Solution

2*120 / 6 - 13 = b2

40 - 13 = b2

b2 = 27

It is always handy to solve an equation in the form that finds the unknown on one side. It makes the solution much easier.

Solve:<br> 2(x+2)-5=3(x-1)
sergejj [24]
Answer:
x = 2

Explanation:
2(x+2)-5=3(x-1)
1) Use distributive property (multiply the 2 by x+2 and the 3 by x-1)
2x+4-5=3x-3
2) Combine like terms
2x-1=3x-3
3) Subtract 2x on both sides
-1=x-3
4) Add 3 on both sides
2=x

hope this helps!

You would turn 15% into a decimal. Which would be .15, and then do .15 times $29.99 which is $29.84. Then you would subtract the $29.99 minus the  $29.84
