$b_1=\frac{2A}{h}-b_2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is;

$A=\frac{h(b_1+b_2)}{2}$

Solving for $b_1$

Multiplying both sides by 2

$2*A=\frac{h(b_1+b_2)}{2}*2\\2A=h(b_1+b_2)$

Dividing both sides by h

$\frac{2A}{h}=\frac{h(b_1+b_2)}{h}\\\frac{2A}{h}=b_1+b_2$

Subtracting $b_2$ from both sides

$\frac{2A}{h}-b_2=b_1+b_2-b_2\\\frac{2A}{h}-b_2=b_1\\b_1=\frac{2A}{h}-b_2$

$b_1=\frac{2A}{h}-b_2$

If 10 pencils and 7 erasers cost $4.23 and 3 pencils and 1 eraser cost $0.95, what is the cost of 2 erasers?

QveST [7]

Answer: $0.58

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent pencil and y represent eraser

10x + 7y = 4.23 → 1(10x + 7y = 4.23) → 10x + 7y = 4.23

3x + y = 0.95 → -3(3x + y = 0.95) → -21x - 7y = -6.65

-11x = -2.42

÷-11 ÷-11

x = 0.22

3x + y = 0.95

3(0.22) + y = 0.95

0.66 + y = 0.95

y = 0.29

2y = 2(0.29) = 0.58

Can someone please help me with this?

Remember that X will always be one up or down depending on if there is a - or not (if it is just an x) and one over! Hope this helps

We are interested in the dimensions of a certain square a rectangle had length triple the side of this square and width two unit

Sphinxa [80]

Let s be the side length of the square. The dimensions of the rectangle are three times the side of the square (i.e. 3s), and two less than the side of the square (i.e. s-2).

So, the area of this rectangle is

$3s(s-2)=3s^2-6s$

The area of the square is $s^2$ , and we know that the two areas are the same, so we have

$3s^2-6s=s^2 \iff 2s^2-6s=0 \iff 2s(s-3)=0 \iff s=0 \lor s=3$

The solution s=0 would lead to the extreme case where the rectangle and the square are actually a point, so we accept the solution s=3.
