<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>

Tommy earned ​$ on Monday and ​$ on Tuesday. How many lucky bamboo plants can he buy with the total money he​ earned? lucky bamb
Montano1993 [528]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question isn't complete. But let's assume that the amount earned on Monday is $38 while $25 was earned on Tuesday.

The total amount earned for both days will be:

= $38 + $25

= $63

Since lucky bamboo plants are $7 each, we then divide the total amount gotten by $7. This will be:

= $63 / $7

= 9

Therefore, he can buy 9 lucky bamboos
