 <span>draw the figure first (label everything you know). 
add two altitudes, from the endpoints of the top base 
you know that the bottom base is now divided 5-6-5 
using that and the diagonal, pythagorean theorm can be used to find the altitude: 
(c^2)-(a^2)=(b^2) 
(12^2)-(11^2)=b^2 
b^2=23 
altitude is about 4.8</span>

3(x-1) - 8 = 4(1+x) +5. Too hard, i keep getting confused
svet-max [94.6K]

3(x-1)-8=4(1+x)+5  

One solution was found :

                  x = -20

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    3*(x-1)-8-(4*(1+x)+5)=0  

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

 ((3•(x-1))-8)-(4•(x+1)+5)  = 0  

Step  2  :

Equation at the end of step  2  :

 (3 • (x - 1) -  8) -  (4x + 9)  = 0  

Step  3  :

Step  4  :

Pulling out like terms :

4.1     Pull out like factors :

  -x - 20  =   -1 • (x + 20)  

Equation at the end of step  4  :

 -x - 20  = 0  

Step  5  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

5.1      Solve  :    -x-20 = 0  

Add  20  to both sides of the equation :  

                     -x = 20

Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) :  x = -20

One solution was found :

                  x = -20

hope this is wht u wanted

One number is 6 times another number. it is also 12 more than twice the other number. Find the numbers.
stepan [7]

The numbers are 3 and 18

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Let one number be x. Then the other number = 6x.

Also, 6x = 12 + 2x

⇒ 4x = 12

⇒ x = 3

⇒ 6x = 18
