Answer:
Formula
A = 1/2 b * h
Substitute
Area = 60 in^2
b = x
h = 2x - 1
60= 1/2 * x * (2x - 1)
Solve
60 = 1/2 * x (2x - 1) Multiply by 2
60 * 2 = x(2x - 1)
120 = x (2x - 1) Remove the brackets.
120 = 2x^2 - x Subtract 120 from both sides.
2x^2 - x - 120 = 0 This factors.
(2x + 15)(x - 8) = 0
Solve for x
2x + 15 = 0
2x = - 15
x = -15/2
x = - 7.5 a negative measurement is useless. Discard this answer.
x - 8 = 0
x = 8
Area (Check)
base = 8
height = 16 - 1 = 15
Area = 1/2 * 8 * 15 = 60 as it should
Answer
Use Area = 1/2 * b * h to find the base and the height.Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
well you see there is go.ogle
Answer:
-2.3 repeating
Step-by-step explanation:
Writing this statement symbolically, we get:
n
--- - 5 = 8
2
Adding 5 to both sides, we get n/2 = 13. Then n = 26.
Answer:
Three equivalent expressions are -3(5-2x), 6x-15, and 3(2x-5).
Step-by-step explanation:
They are equivalent because they equal the same value for x and make the same answer.
