The area of a right triangle is found using the formula 1/2 x base x height.

Using the provided information the equation becomes:

60 = 1/2 * 5x * (3x-1)

Combine 1/2 and 5x:

60 = 5x/2 * (3x-1)

Multiply each term by 2/5:

24 = 3x^2 - x

Subtract 24 from each side:

3x^2 - x - 24 = 0

Now factor the polynomial:

(x-3)(3x+8) = 0

Solve for each x for 0:

3-3 = 0, so x = 3

3x +8 = 0 : subtract 8 from each side:

3x = -8

divide both sides by 3: x = -8/3

Since a side of a triangle cannot be a negative value, we now know x = 3

Now replace x in each side with 3 and solve:

5x = 5(3) = 5 x 3 = 15

3x-1 = 3(3)-1 = 9-1 = 8

29.) This is simply interpreting the linear function.
The function:
96+2.1x
a.) The 96 is what you start with from the beginning. So, we know Rachel weighed 96 ounces when she was born.
b.) Again, interpretation. The 2.1 is the slope, or the change in the line. So we know that Rachel gains 2.1 ounces each day.
30.) For this one, you just have to plug 9 into the equation for x.

Answer: Choice D

-------------------------------------

Work Shown:

|2x - 6| < 4
-4 < 2x - 6 < 4
-4 + 6 < 2x - 6 + 6 < 4 + 6
2 < 2x < 10
2/2 < 2x/2 < 10/2
1 < x < 5

Plot open circles at x = 1 and x = 5 on the same number line
The shading will be in between the two open circles

That is why the answer is choice D

MT is a diameter of OE. Calculate the measure of AT.
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

C. 96°

Step-by-step explanation:

m<AME = 48° is an inscribed angle

Arc AT = intercepts arc

Based on the inscribed angles theorem, we have:

m<AME = ½(arc AT)

48° = ½(arc AT)

Multiply both sides by 2

48° × 2 = ½(arc AT) × 2

96° = arc AT

Arc AT = 96°
