An equation is a mathematical sentence that contains an equal sign.

To understand this further, I'll show an example.

Suppose that we had a balance and a bunch of blocks for reference. If we put the bag on one side of the balance and put a number of blocks on the other side of the balance, they even out. If the number of blocks on the right side of the balance is 8, this means that the number of blocks in the bag is 8. We can write this as X = 8.

X = 8 is an example of an equation since it's a mathematical sentence that has an equal sign in it.

The inequality would start out looking like this:
$-30\ \textless \ \frac{5}{9} (F-32)\ \textless \ 130$
Now it's just a matter of solving the inequalities simultaneously. Get rid of the fraction by multiplying everything by 9:
$-270\ \textless \ 5(F-32)\ \textless \ 1170$
Then distribute the 5 into the parenthesis:
$-270\ \textless \ 5F-160\ \textless \ 1170$
Now add 160 everywhere:
$-110\ \textless \ 5F\ \textless \ 1330$
and finally divide everything by 5:
-22<F<266

Solve equations by using elimination -4+5y= 13 X-5y=21 ( , )

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

y=17/5 ,x= 38

Step-by-step explanation:

-4+5y =13 add 4 both side

4-4+5y=13+4

5y=17

5y/5=17/5 y=17/5

x-5y=21

x-5(17/5)=21

x-17=21

x=21+17= 38

A triangle has an area of 54 square inches the height of the triangle is 12 inches what is the length of the base of the triangl

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The base of the triangle = 9inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

The area of the triangle = $\frac{1}{2} bh$ square units

Given area of the triangle(A) = 54 square inches

Given the height of the triangle (h) = 12 inches

now equating $\frac{1}{2} b h = 54$

$\frac{1}{2} b (12) = 54$

now simplification, we get

6 b = 54

Dividing '6' on both sides, we get

b = 9

The base of the triangle = 9 inches

Conclusion:-

The base of the triangle = 9 inches
