Which equation would be help solve the following problem? The height of a triangle is 5m less than its base. The area of the tri

angle is 42m^2.
Find the length of the base?


42=x(x-5)

42=1/2(x)(x-5)

42=x^2-5

42=1/2(x^2-5)

Answer:

Part 1) 42=\frac{1}{2}x(x-5)

Part 2) The length of the base is x=12\ m

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Which equation would be help solve the following problem?

Let

x----> the length of the base of a triangle

y----> the height of a triangle

we know that

The area of a triangle is

A=\frac{1}{2}xy

A=42\ m^{2}

so

42=\frac{1}{2}xy ------> equation A

y=x-5 -----> equation B

Substitute equation B in equation A  

42=\frac{1}{2}x(x-5)

Part 2) Find the length of the base

we have

42=\frac{1}{2}x(x-5)

solve for x

84=x^{2}-5x\\x^{2}-5x-84=0

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing

The solution is x=12\ m

see the attached figure

PLEASE HELP I WILL MARK BRAINLIST!!

14: \frac{1}{2} = \frac{8}{1}    \frac{x}{y} = \frac{56}{1}

56/8 = 7 so multiply 1/2 by 7/1 to get the unidentified fraction "x/y"

1/2 · 7/1 = 7/2 or 3 1/2

15.  \frac{2}{5} = \frac{x}{100}

to get from 100 to 5, you would divide by 20, so to solve for x, multiply 2 by 20, to get a product of 40.

40/100 = 40% or D

16. \frac{3}{5} = \frac{12}{x}

A
