A) Height -7 = base
B) .5 * height * base = 60
Substituting A into B
B) .5 * height * (height -7) = 60
B)  .5*height^2  -3.5*height = 60
B)  .5*height^2 -3.5*height -60 = 0
Using the quadratic formula:
Height = 15
Subtracting 7 gives us the base length
Base = 8
**************************************************************
Double-Check
.5 * 15 * 8 = 60

Solve for x. −18 = −2/3 x
vredina [299]

Answer:

x = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

To isolate x, we can multiply it by the reciprocal of the fraction (-3/2). We do the same to the -18.

Through cross-multiplication, -18/1 x -3/2 simplifies into -9/1 x -3/1 (because 2 goes into 2 once and 2 goes into -18 -9 times).

-9 x -3 = 27; therefore, x = 27
