Area=1/2 times base times height
note:bh=base times height
a=1/2bh
b=width
h=-4+2w
h=2w-4
subsitute
a=1/2w(2w-4)
a=1/2(2s^2-4w)
a=w^2-2w
a=63
63=w^2-2w
subtract 63 from both sdies
0=w^2-2w-63
factor
find what 2 numbers multiply to get -63 and add to get -2
the numbers are -9 and 7
so
0=(w-9)(w+7)
if xy=0 then x and/or y=0
so
w-9=0
w+7=0
solve each
w-9=0
add 9 to both sdies
w=9
w+7=0
subtract 7 from both sides
w=-7
width cannot be negative so this can be discarded
width=9
subsitute
l=2w-4
l=2(9)-4
l=18-4
l=14
legnth=14 in
width/base=9 in
The answer is b 16 caz I got it on the website www.asknumbers.com
There was 16 apples in the first box and 8 apples in the second box initially.
The solution of 0.6(4-2x)=20.5-(3x+10) is x = 4.5
<u>Solution:</u>
Given, expression is 0.6 ( 4 – 2x ) = 20.5 – ( 3x + 10 )
We have to solve the above given equation for x.
Now, take the equation
We have to use BODMAS rule. BODMAS means sequence of operations which is brackets, order, division, multiplication, addition and then subtraction
On solving the brackets, we get
Now multiplication is given preference
Now subtraction is done
Now division is performed
Hence, the value of x is 4.5
