Is it 7.1 or something I don’t know for sure
Answer: x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
2(5x+3)=26
Distribute the 2
10x+6=26
Subtract 6 from both sides
10x=20
Divide both sides by 10
x=2
Answer:
1 1/3 bags of chocolate chips
Step-by-step explanation:
If Alana has 2 1/4 bags of chocolate chips that she wants to use in 3 batches of chocolate chip cookies, then we can say;
2 1/4 bags of cookies = 3 batches of chips
To determine how much of the chocolate chips will she use in each batch of cookies, we can say;
1 bag of cookies = x batches of chips
Equating both expressions
2 1/4 bags of cookies = 3 batches of chips
1 bag of cookies = x batches of chips
Cross multiply
2 1/4 x = 3
9/4 x = 3
9x/4 = 3
9x = 12
x = 12/9
x = 4/3
x = 1 1/3
Hence Alana will need 1 1/3 bags of chocolate chips
H = height of triangle
b = length of triangle base
A = area of triangle
Recall the formula for area of a triangle :
A = 1/2 bh
Plug in what was given in the problem :
h = b - 5
A = 42
A = 1/2 bh
42 = 1/2 b (b-5)
