Answer:

(\frac{3}{5} b, 0 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + b ( m is the slope and b the y- intercept )

Here m = - \frac{5}{3} and b = b , thus

y= - \frac{5}{3} x + b ← equation of line

The line crosses the x- axis when y = 0, substitute y = 0 into equation and solve for x, that is

- \frac{5}{3} x + b = 0 ( multiply through by 3 to clear the fraction )

- 5x + 3b = 0 ( subtract 3b from both sides )

- 5x = - 3b ( divide both sides by - 5 )

x = \frac{3}{5} b , thus

x- intercept = ( \frac{3}{5} b, 0 )

crimeas [40]

Answer:

The base and height  of the garden are 4.60 ft and 5.60 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the garden is, <em>A</em> = 24 ft².

The base height of the garden are:

base (<em>b</em>) = 6x - 4

height (<em>h</em>) = x + 3

Compute the value of <em>x</em> as follows:

A=\frac{1}{2}\times b \times h\\\\24=\frac{1}{2}\times (6x-4) \times (x+3)\\\\48=6x^{2}+18x-4x-12\\\\6x^{2}+14x-60=0\\\\3x^{2}+7x-30=0\\

The last equation is a quadratic equation.

Compute the roots of the quadratic equation as follows:

x = \frac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{ 2a }\\x = \frac{ -14 \pm \sqrt{14^2 - 4(3)(-30)}}{ 2(3) }\\x = \frac{ -14 \pm \sqrt{556}}{ 6 }\\x = \frac{ -14 }{ 6 } \pm \frac{2\sqrt{139}\, }{ 6 }\\x = -\frac{ 7}{  3 } \pm \frac{ \sqrt{139}\, }{  3 }\\x = 1.59661\\x\approx 1.60

The value of base and height are:

\text{base}=6x-4=(6\times 1.60)-4=5.60\ \text{ft}\\\\\text{height}=x+3=1.60+3=4.60\ \text{ft}

Thus, the base and height  of the garden are 4.60 ft and 5.60 ft.

X + 5 = 10 A) x = 2 B) x = 3 C) x = 4 D) x = 5
MrRa [10]

D.) x = 5, because when you plug five in for x, 5 + 5 = 10 is correct.
