Area of a triangle is half multiplied by the height multiplied by the base.So multiplying the two together and halfing is shown below
It is 3y because of the calculation being equivalent
Minus p both sides
xy=5-p
divide both sides by x
y=(5-p)/x
B
One scarf takes 3/5 of a yard. Two of these takes 6/5 of a yard. If we put the 1 7/10 into an improper fraction we would get 17/10. So in order to compare the two fractions, the 6/5 and the 17/10, they have to have the same denominator. 6/5 can be rewritten as 12/10. 12/10 is less that the 17/10 you have, so yes you can make two scarves with that amount of fabric.
Simplifying
30c + -45d
Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '15'.
15(2c + -3d)
Final result:
15(2c + -3d)
