Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
b2 = 5
Discussion:
A = 1/2 h (b1 + b2)
.
Substituting A = 16, h = 4, and b1=3 in the above formula gives:
16 = (1/2) (4)( 3 + b2) => (as (1/2)4 = 2) )
16 = 2 ( 3 + b2) => (divide both sides by 2)
8 = (3 + b2) => (subtract 3 from both sides)
8-3 = b2 =>
5 = b2
Check Area formula:
Does A = 16 = (1/2)(4)(3+5) ?
Does 16 = (1/2) (4)(8) ?
Does 16 = (1/2)(32) ? Yes it does so our calculation for b2 is correct
Thank you,
MrB
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
to get x alone you divide the 2 away on both sides, getting x = 8. To check multiply 8 by 2 and you get 16.
Hope this helps!
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance = rate × time
If B is the rate of the boat, and C is the rate of the current, then we can write two equations:
18 = (B + C) × 3
18 = (B − C) × 9
Simplifying the equations:
6 = B + C
2 = B − C
Add the equations together to eliminate C:
8 = 2B
B = 4
Plug into either equation to find C:
C = 2
The boat's rate is 4 mph, and the current's rate is 2 mph.
Answer:
you are absolutely correct .........
