Find the value of x

Mathematics
1 answer:
Cerrena [4.2K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

We know that the area of a triangle is:

1/2 * base * height

We are given:

base = x + 6

height = x

area = 108 m^2

Applying the formula:

Area  = 1/2 * base * height

<em>108 = 1/2 * x * (x + 6)</em>

<em>x² + 6x = 216</em>

<em>x² + 6x - 216 = 0</em>

<em>x² + 18x - 12x -216 = 0   (Splitting the middle term)</em>

<em>x(x + 18) - 12(x + 18) = 0</em>

<em>(x + 18) (x - 12) = 0</em>

Hence, we have 2 possible values for x:   -18 or 12

Since taking x as -18 will result in the length of sides of this triangle to be negative, -18 is NOT the value of x

Therefore, x = 12

BlackZzzverrR [31]
The answer would be 640. To find the number of how many copies are produced in 1 minute you have to write 80 divided by 5 which equals 16. Now you multiply 16 and the 40 minutes which gives you 640 copies.

Show that (3*8*x)^7 = 6^7*4^7*x^7
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

24x^7 = 24x^7

Step-by-step explanation:

Left side of equation: 3 times 8 times X = 24x

Then you raise it to the 7th power

Right side of the equation: 6 times 4 times X = 24x

Since the exponent is the same, you keep it as the 7th power
