Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
LEt the number be x.
2x - 5 = 3
2x = 3 + 5 = 8
x = 8/2 = 4
To solve the equation: add 5 to both sides and then multiply by 1/2.
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
4x - 3 = 5
4x = 8
x = 8/4
x = 2
------------
4 (2) - 3 = 5
8 - 3 = 5
5 = 5
answer: x = 2
Answer:
the width is 360 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation of the width of the flag is shown below:
Let us assume the width be x
So the length would be x + 340
And, the perimeter is 2,120 ft
So the formula is
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
2,120 = 2(x + 340 + x)
2,120 = 2x + 680 + 2x
2,120 = 4x + 680
4x = 2,120 - 680
x = 360
hence, the width is 360 ft
Well, i would use the distance formula to find the distance between the two points. Only issue- you do not have the other point, so lets find it!
We have the point 4,6. 4 is the x, and 6 is the y.
Lets start with 4 since the x works with the left and right aspect of the location. It says M has been translated 8 units to the left, meaning we go back 8. So if we are at 4, and we go back (A.K.A. Subtract) 8, we will be at -4.
Now lets move onto the y, which works with the up and down aspect of the location. It says M has been translated 9 unites down, meaning the point will be heading down and getting smaller. So if we are at 6, and we go down (A.K.A. subtract) 9, then we will be at -3.
So now we have the coordinates of point M (4,6) and point M' (-4,-3) so we can now complete the distance formula!
The distance formula helps determine the distance between two points. It looks like this: D = √(x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)²
Though it does not matter which order you use the coordinates in, i am choosing to use M and then M'.
So, starting with the X, X₂ will be -4 and X₁ will be 4.
Again, starting with the Y, Y₂ will be -3 and Y₁ will be 6.
So, the formula plugged in will look like this: d = √(-4 - 4)² + (-3 - 6)²
Solving it out, we first need to work within the parenthesis. Can you solve it?
Our outcome will be this: -8² + -9². But, since we are squaring (And a negative times a negative equals a positive) you can just write 8² + 9²
8²= 64
9²= 81
64+81 = 145.
So, the distance between point M and point M' would be 145 units
Hope this helps!
If it does not, please let me know so i can try to help!
Answer:
height = 2.5 ft , base = 8 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
the area (A) of a triangle is calculated as
A = 
bh ( b is the base and h the height )
height = h then base = 2h + 3 and A = 10 , then
h(h + 3) = 10 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )
h(h + 3) = 20 , that is
h² + 3h = 20 ( subtract 20 from both sides )
h² + 3h - 20 = 0 ← in standard form
(h + 4)(2h - 5) = 0 ← in factored form
equate each factor to zero and solve for h
h + 4 = 0 ⇒ h = - 4
2h - 5 = 0 ⇒ 2h = 5 ⇒ h = 2.5
but h > 0 , then h = 2.5
and 2h + 3 = 2(2.5) + 3 = 5 + 3 = 8
that is height = 2.5 ft and base = 8 ft
