Answer:

We can take 2 plates , 3 plates or 6 plates.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 dozen = 12 numbers

Total number of cookies = 42

Each plate has to get atleast 7 cookies ,all the plates should have the same number of cookies and also the number of plates must be greater than or equal to 2.

  • If we take 2 plates , there can be 21 cookies in each.
  • If we take 3 plates , there can be 14 cookies in each.
  • If we take 6 plates , there can be 7 cookies in each.

These are the 3 possible cases.

Since there cannot be broken pieces, no other combination is possible.

Given: ΔPSQ, PS = SQ Perimeter of ΔPSQ = 50 SQ – PQ = 1 Find: Area of ΔPSQ
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

  120 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = PS + SQ + PQ

50 = SQ + SQ + (SQ -1)

51 = 3SQ

17 = SQ

17 -1 = 16 = PQ

The midpoint of the base is one leg of the right triangle whose other leg is the height of this isosceles triangle. That height is ...

  h = √(17² -(16/2)²) = √225 = 15

Then the area is ...

  A = (1/2)bh = (1/2)(16)(15) = 120 . . . . . square units

X+2a=12+ax-6a; a= Simplify
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

x+2a=12+ax-6a

Step-by-step explanation:

collect liked terms:

x+2a=12+ax-6a

2a-ax+6a=12-x

factorize a on the left hand side:

a(2-x+6)=12-x

divide both sides by (2-x+6) :

a(2-x+6)/(2-x+6)= 12-x/(2-x+6)

a= 12-x

____

(2-x+6)
