Ok, I'm going to start off saying there is probably an easier way of doing this that's right in front of my face, but I can't see it so I'm going to use Heron's formula, which is A=√[s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)] where A is the area, s is the semiperimeter (half of the perimeter), and a, b, and c are the side lengths.

Substitute the known values into the formula:

x√10=√{[(x+x+1+2x-1)/2][({x+x+1+2x-1}/2)-x][({x+x+1+2x-1}/2)-(x+1)][({x+x+1+2x-1}/2)-(2x-1)]}

Simplify:

<span>x√10=√{[4x/2][(4x/2)-x][(4x/2)-(x+1)][(4x/2)-(2x-1)]}</span>

<span>x√10=√[2x(2x-x)(2x-x-1)(2x-2x+1)]</span>

<span>x√10=√[2x(x)(x-1)(1)]</span>

<span>x√10=√[2x²(x-1)]</span>

<span>x√10=√(2x³-2x²)</span>

<span>10x²=2x³-2x²</span>

<span>2x³-12x²=0</span>

<span>2x²(x-6)=0</span>

<span>2x²=0 or x-6=0</span>

<span>x=0 or x=6</span>

<span>Therefore, x=6 (you can't have a length of 0).</span>

Members of the theater club sold tickets for the spring
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

C. 125 + 120x = 180 + 110x

t = $5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

A.125t + 120 = 180t + 110

B. 120t + 110t = 125 + 180

C. 125 + 120t = 180 + 110t

D. 125 - 120t = 180 - 110t

Friday

$125 + 120t

Saturday

110t + 180

equate Friday and Saturday

125 + 120t = 110t + 180

Collect like terms

125 - 180 = 110t - 120t

-55 = -10t

Divide both sides by -10

t = -55 / -10

= 5.5

t = $5.5
