Answer:

  • 17.5 = (1/2)(x)(2x-3)
  • base: 5 m; height: 7 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The base is defined as x. The height is said to be 3 less than 2x, so is (2x-3).

The formula for the area of a triangle is ...

  A = (1/2)bh

Filling in the given values, we have ...

  17.5 = (1/2)x(2x-3)

  35 = 2x^2 -3x . . . . multiply by 2

  2x^2 -3x -35 = 0 . . . . put in standard form

  (2x +7)(x -5) = 0 . . . . . factor

The base is 5 meters; the height is 2·5-3 = 7 meters.

A large box of crackers weighs 20 oz. If James needs 3 pounds of crackers for a party, how many boxes of crackers should he buy?
andre [41]
If James needs 3 pounds of crackers, and
each box is 200z, that means each box is a little over 1 pound. (1.25 pounds to be exact). So, we know that he needs to buy 3 boxes of crackers. This is because 20×3=60 ounces which is 3.75 pounds. Meaning, 3 boxes is the correct answer since we can't cut a box in half.

A kitten and a puppy found a sausage which is 14cm long and started eating it simultaneously from each end. The kitten is eating
julsineya [31]

It takes them 12 seconds to eat the whole sausage.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed is the rate of change of distance.

Analysis:

If kitten eats x cm, then puppy will eat 14 - x cm

speed = d/t

speed of kitten = 1/2

speed of puppy = 2/3

1/2 = x/t

2/3 = 14 - x / t

t = 2x--------1

2t = 3(14 - x ) -------- 2

substitute t in equation 2

2(2x) = 3(14 - x)

4x = 42 - 3x

7x = 42

x = 42/7 = 6cm

substitute value of x in equation 1

t = 2(60 = 12 seconds.

In conclusion, it takes the both animals 12 seconds to finish the sausage.

Asher catches 8 passes in 3 football games. At this rate, how many passes does he catch in 15 games?
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

40 passes

Step-by-step explanation:

If Asher can make 8 passes in 3 football cames, and you need to find how many passes he can make in 15, you need to multiply 8 x 5. This is because he made 5 times as many passes (3 x 5 = 15)
