Answer:
x=1/2 or 0.5
B. 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one: Add x to both sides
you then get the equation 7=4x+5
Step two: subtract 5 from both sides
you then get the equation 2=4x
Divide both sides by 4 to undo the multiplication.
2/4=4x/4x
you get x=2/4 which simplifies to 1/2.
Answer:
640 units squared
Step-by-step explanation:
The shape below is a trapezoid.
The formula for the area of a trapezoid is average of the bases times the height.
The bases are the parallel lines that make up 2 of the sides of the trapezoid.
The height is the line dotted line that creates right angles and is the distance between the two bases.
The bases are 24 and 40.
To find the average, we add them together and divide by 2
(24+40)/2=64/2=32
Now, we multiply 32 by the height, which is given as the length of 20.
32*20=640
the area of the trapezoid is 640 units squared
