Answer:

The answer is p = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

-2.5p - 20 = 9p + 37.5

(move constants to one side by adding 20 to both sides)

-2.5p = 9p + 57.5

(move all terms with the "p" variable to one side by subtracting 9 from both sides)

-11.5p = 57.5

(divide both sides by -11.5 to isolate the variable)

p = -5

Answer:

p = - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

–2.5p – 20 = 9p + 37.5

combine like terms:

- 2.5p - 9p = 37.5 + 20

simplify:

- 11.5p = 57.5

p = 57.5 / -11.5

p = - 5

Find the x............... <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>​
lana [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

You are going to use the Pythagorean Theorem. The trick is to find the length of the leg making up the base of the triangle.

That base is equal to the difference between the two bases.

Solution

The base of the triangle = 2x + 1 - (x + 3)      Remove the brackets.

base = 2x + 1 - x - 3

base = x - 2

Now the height of the trapezoid is also the second leg of the triangle. Apply the Pythagorean Theorem.

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

a = x - 2

b = x + 4

c = 2x

4x^2 = (x - 2)^2 + (x + 4)^2                              Expand the brackets

4x^2 = x^2 - 4x + 4 + x^2 + 8x + 16                Collect like terms

4x^2 = 2x^2 + 4x + 20                                    Subtract the right side from the left.

4x^2 - 2x^2 - 4x - 20 = 0

2x^2 - 4x - 20 = 0                                            Divide by 2

2x^2/2 - 4x/2 - 20/2 = 0              

x^2 - 2x - 10 = 0

x = - b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4*a*c)/ 2a

a = 1

b = - 2

c = - 10

x = (- -2 + / - sqrt((-2)^2 - 4*(1)*(-10) ) / 2

x = (2 + / - sqrt(4 + 40 ))/2                      Only the plus root has any meaning.

x = ( 2 + sqrt(44 ) )/2

x = ( 2 + 2*sqrt(11) ) / 2

x = 1 + sqrt(11)

sqrt(11) = 3.3166

x = 1 + 3.3166

x = 4.3166
