Answer:

For this equation the value of x is - 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Resolving the equation 2/3-4x+7/2=-9x+5/6

-4x + 9x = 5/6 - 2/3 - 7/2 (Putting the all the x values on the left)

5x = (5/6 - 4/6 -21/6)

5x = -20/6

x = - 20/6 /5 (Dividing by 5 at both sides)

x = -20/6 * 1/5

x = -4/6 = - 2/3 (Simplifying)

2. Proof of replacing x by -2/3

2/3 - 4 (-2/3) + 7/2 = -9 (-2/3) + 5/6

2/3 + 8/3 + 7/2 = 18/3 + 5/6

10/3 + 7/2 = 6 + 5/6

20 + 21 = 36 + 5 (Multiplying by 6 at both sides)

41 = 41

It means the value of -2/3 for x is correct

The base of a triangle is nine centimeters longer than the perpendicular height. If the area of the triangle is 180 square centi

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

The base is 24 cm long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations

Let's call

b= base of the triangle

h=height of the triangle

The base is 9 cm longer than the height, thus:

b = h + 9

The area of the triangle is:

$\displaystyle A=\frac{bh}{2}$

$\displaystyle A=\frac{(h+9)h}{2}$

And its value is 180:

$\displaystyle \frac{(h+9)h}{2}=180$

Multiplying by 2:

$(h+9)h=360$

Operating:

$h^2+9h-360=0$

Factoring:

$(h-15)(h+24)=0$

The only valid positive solution is:

h = 15 cm

And b = h + 9 = 24

b = 24 cm

The base is 24 cm long.
