Let number of plastic containers collected by fourth grade= x
Then number of plastic containers collected by fifth grade students=x-216
OR
If number of plastic container collected by fifth grade is y
then number of plastic container collected by fourth grade=y+216
So, we can write it as follows
⇒ number of plastic containers collected by fourth grade= number of plastic containers collected by fifth grade +216
Answer:
135
Step-by-step explanation:
15 x 9 = 135
Since the values are the same on both sides the matrix value is a=1
The base is 3+(x), altitude is x so substitute. Now we know the area of a triangle is base X height X 1/2. Substitute again! 1/2 (3+x)(x)=35. Multiply both sides by 2 to cancel out the 1/2. Now you have (x)(x+3)=70 and you have to foil out the left side x^2+3x=70. Subtract 70 on both sides x^2+3x-70=0. Find two numbers that multiply to -70 and add to 3. Solve (x+10)(x-7)=0. the x value is 7. since you can't have negative length values. Substitute 7 into 3+x for the base so you know the base is 10 and the height is 7.
