Answer:

b = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a triangle is calculated as

A = \frac{1}{2} bh ( b is the base and h the height )

Here h = 3x + 15 and A = 15x + 75, thus

\frac{1}{2} × b × (3x + 15) = 15x + 75

Multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction

b(3x + 15) = 30x + 150

Divide both sides by (3x + 15)

b = \frac{30x+150}{3x+15} ← factor numerator and denominator

  = \frac{30(x + 5)}{3(x+5)} ← cancel the factor (x + 5) on numerator/denominator

  = \frac{30}{3}

  = 10

Answer:

b = 10ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = ½ × base × height

15x + 75 = ½ × base × (3x + 15)

30x + 150 = base × (3x + 15)

10(3x + 15) = base × (3x + 15)

base = 10

ArbitrLikvidat [17]
Width = w

Length = 5w

Given,

Perimeter = 276 ft

5w * w = 276

w² = 55.2

--- w = 7.429670248402684 ≈ 7.43 ft

--- l = 5w = 5*7.43 = <span>37.14835124201342 </span>≈ 37.15 ft

-34 + 91 = -3 (4x + 1) + 6x
ra1l [238]

-34 + 91 = -3(4x+1) + 6x\\57 = -12x - 3 + 6x\\6x = -60\\x= -10\\

Thus x = -10.

Hope that helps!
