<span>You can use Heron's formula to solve this problem.

</span>A= \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)} , where A is the area; a,b,с are the sides;  s<span> is the </span>semiperimeter<span> of the triangle
</span>s= \frac{a+b+c}{2}

<span>According to conditions:
</span>a = x
b = x+1
с = 2x-1

<span>Calculate the semiperimeter:
</span>s= \frac{x+x+1+2x-1}{2} = \frac{4x}{2}=2x

<span>Now we can compose and solve the equation according to Heron's formula:
</span>\sqrt{2x(2x-x)(2x-(x+1))(2x-(2x-1))}=x \sqrt{10}   \\  \sqrt{2x(x)(2x-x-1)(2x-2x+1)}=x \sqrt{10} \\  \sqrt{2x^2(x-1)(1)}=x \sqrt{10} \\  \sqrt{2x^3-2x^2}=x \sqrt{10}  \  \  \ |()^2 \\ 2x^3-2x^2=10x^2 \\ 2x^3-2x^2-10x^2=0 \\ 2x^3-12x^2=0 \ \ |:2 \\ x^3-6x^2=0 \\ x^2(x-6)=0 \\  \\ x^2=0 \\ x=0 \ \ \ \O \\ or \\ x-6=0 \\ x=6

<span>As a result, x = 6 is your answer.
 
I hope this helped.</span>

A) c=18
0.5c^2 +13=94
subtract 13 from both sides
0.5c^2 = 81
Square root of both sides to get c alone
0.5c=9
double c to make it just c
c=18

B) x=8
(x-2)^2+1=37
Subtract one from each side
(x-2)^2=36
square root each side
x-2=6
add the 2 over
x=8

What is −30−6r= -36 ?
Nadya [2.5K]

-30-6r=36

We move all terms to the left:

-30-6r-(36)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

-6r-66=0

We move all terms containing r to the left, all other terms to the right

-6r=66

r=66/-6

r=-11

Write an expression that represents n plus 7 multiplied by 3.
diamong [38]
The <span>expression that represents n plus 7 multiplied by 3 is
(n + 7)(3)
The entire expression, (n + 7) is multiplied by 3 since it would be inconvenient to state the expression as given above if what is meant was
(n + 7x3). It would have simply been n plus 21.</span>
