<h3>How to solve the simultaneous equation?</h3>
Given:
x-y=k.............(eq i)
2x²+y²-15..............(eq ii)
We would make y the subject formula in eq ii
2x²+y²-15= 0
2x² + y²= 15
y²= 15-2x²
y= ...........(eq iii)
Substitute the value of y into eq i
x-(= k
x- (= k
k=

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
Let the shorter base = x
Let the longer base = 3x
h = 5
Area = 60
Formula
Area = (b1 + b2)*h /2
Solution
60 = (x + 3x)*5 / 2 Multiply both sides by 2
2*60 = (x + 3x)*5 Combine like terms
120 = 4x *5
120 = 20x Divide by 20
120/20 = x
x = 6
Therefore the two bases are
x = 6
3x = 18
