Let x=height. then base is x+4. plug what we know into the formula for the area of a triangle

A=½bh

16=½*(x+4)*(x)

32=x²+4x

x²+4x-32=0
(x+8)(x-4)=0
so x can be-8 our 4. when we plug-8 in for x we get a negative height. since a triangle cannot have a negative side length we discard-8 and try 4. height=4 and base=8

Solve the system using elimination.<br> 2x + 18y = -9<br> 4x + 18y = -27
Elan Coil [88]

First, let's cancel out the x by multiplying 2x + 18y = -9 by -2.

-2 ( 2x + 18y = -9) = -4x -36y = 18

Then, we combine the two equations.

-4x + 4x = 0

18y - 36y = -18y

-27 + 18 = -9

Our new equation is -18y = -9.

Now, divide both sides by -18.

-18y / -18 = y

-9/ -18 = 1/2

y = 1/2

We can plug in a value for y since y = 1/2 now.

Let's use 2x + 18y = -9

Plug in y.

2x + 18(1/2) = -9

2x + 9 = -9

Then, subtract 9 from both sides.

2x = -18

Divide by 2.

2x/2 = x

-18/2 = -9

x = -9

Lastly, we can plug in both x and y values to see it works.

2(-9) + 18(1/2) = -9

-18 + 9 = -9

Therefore, the values of x and y does work.

x = -9

y = 1/2

kenny has 9 more comic books than bobbie. together they have 95 comic books. define a variable. then write an equation that coul
Hoochie [10]
Number of comic books Bobbie has - b

95 = (9 + b) + b

Since 95 is the total number of comic books both boys have, it is equal to both boys' books added together. However, since we don't know how many books Kenny has, and only that he has 9 more than Bobbie, we can define that as (9 + b), or nine more than b. Then, we add b again, because (9 + b) is the number of books Kenny has, and if we add that to the number of books Bobbie has, it will equal the total of 95 comic books.
