A = (1/2) b * h
h = b - 5
42 = (1/2) * b * (b - 5)
42 = (1/2) * b^2 - 5b
multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction (1/2)
2(42) = 2(1/2) *b^2 - 5b
84 = b^2 -5b
Since this is a quadratic equation, subtract 84 from both sides so that it is set = to zero.
b^2 - 5b - 84 = 0
Now factor.
(b - 12)(b + 5) = 0
b - 12 = 0; b = 12
b + 5 = 0; b = -5
You can't have a negative length so the answer is 12m
To check the answer:
A = (1/2) * 12* 7
A = 42 m^2

Ruth has a beaker containing a solution of 800 mL of acid and 200 mL of water. She thinks the solution is a little strong, so sh
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok so the beaker is 200 water:800 acid

So she drains 100 from the acid and 100 from the water which equals

100:700

Then she adds 200 water:

300:700

there is 300 mL water in da beaker now

i might got it wrong tho

Solve 5(2^x+4)=15 round to the nearest thousandth
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Begin by dividing by 5

2x + 4 = 3            

Is this written as 2^(x + 4) = 3? I think it is.

Take the log of both sides

log 2^(x + 4) = log(3)

(x + 4) * log(2) = log 3

log 2 = 0.30103

log 3 = 0.47712

(x + 4) = log2 / log3

x + 4 = 0.63093               Add 4 to both sides

x = -3.369                        Rounded to the nearest thousandth

====================

If you mean the question exactly as it is written (the 4 is not part of the power)

5(2^x + 4) = 15

2^x + 4 = 3

2^x = 3 - 4

2^x = - 1

This can't be done 2 to any power should be >0.

if x>0 then this will give an ever increasing number

if xK0 then this will give an ever decreasing answer but still greater than 0.

No value will make 2^x go to something minus.

If I have misread this in some way, leave a note and I will get back to you.

Lines c and d are parallel lines cut by transversal p. Which much be true by the corresponding angles theorem?
Flura [38]
Hello!
The corresponding angle theorem states that if two parallel lines are cut my a transversal, then the corresponding angles are congruent. Therefore, the correct answer is:
B. ∠2 = ∠6

If this was correct, please give it 5 stars!

1/27^-x=81^2x+2 find x​
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

81

=

3

4

and

27

=

3

3

, so this equation can also be written as

3

4

x

=

3

3

(

x

+

2

)

=

3

3

x

+

6

.

Since the bases are now the same, we can equate exponents to get

4

x

=

3

x

+

6

so that

x

=

6

(technically this equating of exponents requires the fact that exponential functions (with base not equal to 1) are one-to-one functions).

(do u understand?)
