4/7 - x = 6/35

You're trying to get x by itself, so you have to subtract 4/7 from both sides.

-x = 6/35 - 4/7

You need both of the fractions to the right of the equal sign to have the same denominator so that we could simplify them, so multiply 5/5 to -4/7.

-4 /7 × 5/5 = -20/35

So, our new equation is :

-x = 6/35 - 20/35

Simplify.

-x = -14/35

Divide both sides by -1.

x = 14/35

Divide by 7.

x = 2/5

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
