The Shark's teeth has a base of 2 cm and height of 1 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Given,

the area of the shark's triangular teeth = 1 sq cm

Let b be the base and h be the height of the shark's triangular teeth.

We have the teeth's height is 1 cm short than the base

So  h = b - 1

Step 2 :

Area of Triangle  = (\frac{1}{2}) × b × h = 1

Substituting h = b -1

(\frac{1}{2}) × b × (b-1) = 1

=> b² - b = 2 = > b²-b-2 = 1

Solving for b we have

(b-2)(b+1) = 0

b = 2 or b = -1

Since b is the base , we take the positive value as length/distance cannot be negative.

So b = 2

h = b - 1 = 2 - 1 = 1

h = 1

Step 3 :

Answer :

The Shark's teeth has a base of 2 cm and height of 1 cm.

A stretched spring has a length of 12 inches when a weight of 2 lbs is attached to the spring. The same spring has a length of 1
Advocard [28]
The way I figured this one out was saying that if it takes 2lbs to stretch it to 12 inches and 5lbs to stretch to 18 inches that means that 3 additional pounds = 6 inches. Therefore, each additional pound is 2 inches. We know already that with 2 lbs it was 12 inches in length and we can also say that 2 lbs = 4 inches. So subtract 4 from 12 and you end up with the answer of 8 inches.

Isolate for x, y = mx + b
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

x = (y - b)/m

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First subtract b from both sides:

y = mx + b

y (-b) = mx + b (-b)

y - b = mx

Next, divide m from both sides:

(y - b)/m = (mx)/m

x = (y - b)/m

x = (y - b)/m is your answer.
