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

Point A is located at (3, 4) and is translated right five units and down three units. What is the new location of point A?

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer is (8,1)
x axis which is 3 originally is shifted by 5 units to the right so it becomes (3+5 =8)
y axis which is 4 originally is shifted by 3 units downwards ( in negative direction) so it becomes (4-3 = 1)
therefore point is translated to (8,1)

Answer:

The answer is

$\frac{2s}{n} - l = a$

Step-by-step explanation:

$s = \frac{n}{2} (a + l)$

multiply both sides by 2 to get

$2s = n(a + l)$

divide both sides by n to get

$\frac{2s}{n} = a + l$

subtract L from both sides to get the answer

$\frac{2s}{n} - l = a$

A vat contains 18 gallons of liquid when a drain pipe opens and the liquid begins to leave the vat at a rate of 4 gallons per ho

SashulF [63]

Answer:

$y=-4x+18$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of hours.

We have been given that a vat contains 18 gallons of liquid when a drain pipe opens and the liquid begins to leave the vat at a rate of 4 gallons per hour.

To graph the amount of liquid first of all we will find the equation of line for our given situation.

Since we know that equation of a line in slope-intercept form is: $y=mx+b$ , where, m = slope and b = y-intercept or initial value.

As liquid is leaving the vat at a rate of 4 gallons per hour, this means that amount of liquid in vat in decreasing 4 gallons per hour. As slope is also known as rate of change, so slope of our given line will be -4. A negative slope means that with each increase in x our y will decrease by 4.

As initially there were 18 gallons of liquid in vat, so our y-intercept will be 18.

Upon substituting our given values in slope-intercept form of equation we will get,

$y=-4x+18$

Let us find x-intercept by substituting y=0 in our equation.

$0=-4x+18$
