Answer:
a)    x = 2
b)    x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
a = (b₁ + b₂)/2 * h
----------------------------
a)
48 = (10 + x)/2 * 8
Divide both sides by 8
6 = (10 + x)/2
multiply both sides by 2
12 = 10 + x
Subtract 10 from both sides
2 = x
x = 2
---------------------------------
b)
18 = (7 + 2)/2 * x
18 = 4.5 * x
divide both sides by 4.5
4 = x
x = 4
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
The completed factor is (7x+2) (x+5)
 
        
        
        
1/3 + 7x = 1/3 + 7(5 )=
1/3+35 
=1/3 + 105/3 =
106/3=
35 1/3
