8 less than 1/3 a number n is -13

1 answer:

7 0

Let's set up an equation.

so we know the answer is -13.
1/3 of a number (our variable) can be written as 1/3n.
8 less than that would be subtracting 1/3n by 8

so we have -13 = 1/3n - 8.

To solve:
Add 8 to both sides: -5 = 1/3n
Multiply both sides by 3 (to cancel fraction): -15 = n

You can check by plugging -15 into the equation we made.

Solve x^2 + 2x - 48 = 0

Georgia [21]

Answer:

x = - 8, x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

${x}^{2} + 2x - 48 = 0 \\ \\ {x}^{2} + 8x - 6x - 48 = 0 \\ \\ x(x + 8) - 6(x + 8) = 0 \\ \\ (x + 8)(x - 6) = 0 \\ \\ x + 8 = 0 \: \: or \: \: x - 6 = 0 \\ \\ x = - 8, \: \: \: \: x = 6 \\$

Find area of the trapezoid.

Allisa [31]

Area of trapezoid = 1/2(b1+b2)h
b1 and b2 are top and bottom bases
so b1 = 15.8 and b2 = 21.8

h is height so h = 11.7
so
A = 1/2(15.8 + 21.8)(11.7)
A = 1/2(37.6)(11.7)
A = 219.96

answer
D. 219.96 yd^2
