You work it backwards.
-- If there were 4 children and each child got 4 pieces,
then the children got (4 x 4) = 16 pieces altogether.
-- That's what was left after he took 2 pieces for himself.
So he started with (16 + 2) = <em>18 pieces</em>.
The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula
1/2 (base) (height)
Let's substitute our known values, letting x represent the value of the height of the triangle.
16 = 1/2* x* 2x
Let's Simplify!
16 = x^2
Finally, lets take the square root of both sides, to get rid of the exponent on the right side of the equation.
x= positive OR negative 4.
However, because x is equal to the height, we know that it can't be negative, so we know that it is positive 4.
The height of the triangle = 4 inches
The base of the triangle = 2h = 8 inches
Answer:
fr tho
Step-by-step explanation:
like bro i dont need no brainly plus
Given:
Total number of pieces: 117
watch = x
earrings = four times as many earring as watches = 4x
necklaces = half the number of necklaces as earrings = 1/2 * 4x = 2x
bracelets = necklaces = 2x
x + 4x + 2x + 2x = 117
9x = 117
x = 117/9
x = 13
watches: x = 13
earrings: 4x = 4(13) = 52
necklaces: 2x = 2(13) = 26
bracelets: 2x = 2(13) = 26
13 + 52 + 26 + 26 = 117
There are 13 watches, 52 earrings, 26 necklaces, and 26 bracelets.
