There is a common equation we use to find the Area of a trapezoid.
(a+b)h/2=A
Let's fill in what we know. We're not going to fill in any information about the bases.
(a+b)8/2=96
We can already tell that 8/2 will simplify to 4.
(a+b)4=96
Let's divide each side by 4.
a+b=24
Now, let's look at the information about the bases.
So, we will have this in terms of base a, since one base is longer than the other. This is how it'll look.
a +(a+6)=24
We can simplify that further.
2a+6=24
now subtract 6 from each side.
2a=18
Let's divide
9=a
So one side is 9, so the other one is 15. We should make sure everything makes sense by putting all the information in the formula to find area.
(9+15)8/2
24×4
96.
The lengths of the bases are 9 and 15 inches.

10. The sum of two numbers is 13 more than twice the first number. Their difference is 14 less than the second number. Find each
Lynna [10]

The sum of two numbers is 13 more than twice the first number:

x + y = 2x +13

x - y = y - 14

solve the system of equations:

x - (x + 13) = (x +13) - 14

x = -12

y = 1

Can you solve this????? Super hard!
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

  \textbf{J. }\dfrac{1}{x^2-x}

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the denominator and cancel the common factor.

  \dfrac{x+1}{x^3-x}=\dfrac{x+1}{x(x^2-1)}=\dfrac{x+1}{x(x-1)(x+1)}=\dfrac{1}{x(x-1)}\\\\=\boxed{\dfrac{1}{x^2-x}}

Reflect the triangle (-2,-2) (-6,-8) (-8,-8) over the x-axis. What are the new vertices?
Inessa [10]
Reflecting across the x axis changes the y value to the opposite, but doesn't change the x value, so the new values are:
(-2,2), (-6, 8), (-8, 8)
