Hello!

You solve this algebraically.

6(t - 2) = 2(9 - 2t)

Distribute the 6

6t - 12 = 2(9 - 2t)

Distribute the 2

6t - 12 = 18 - 4t

Add 4t to both sides

10t - 12 = 18

Add 12 to both sides

10t = 30

Divide both sides by 10

t = 3

The answer is 3

Hope this helps!

Base of triangle exceeds the height by 4. If the area is 178.5 square inches, find the length of the base and the height of the

xxMikexx [17]

Area of a triangle:
A= (1/2)(bh)

In this problem we are given:
A= 178.5 $in^{2}$
b= h+4 in
h= UNKNOWN ("h")

Plug in our values into the area equation and solve for "h":
$A= \frac{1}{2} bh$
$178.5 = \frac{1}{2} ((h+4)h)$ (multiply each side by 2 to get rid of the 1/2)
$357 = ((h+4)h)$
$357 = h^{2} +4h$
$0= h^{2} +4h -357$
(357/21=17)
$0= (h+21)(h-17)$ (solve both inequalities separately)

$0= (h+21)$
$-21= h$ ( a negative height is not possible so, this answer is incorrect.)

$0=(h-17)$
$h=17 in$

Answer: base = (h+4)= (17+ 4) b= 21 in h= 17in

Molodets [167]

Answer:

The total number of calories, y, in a salad with vegetables containing 50 calories topped with x ounces of salad dressing at 100 calories per ounce.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scenario that is most likely to be shown in the graph is:

the total number of calories, y, in a salad with vegetables containing 50 calories topped with x ounces of salad dressing at 100 calories per ounce.

( Since, the initial calories are 50 as in the graph when x=0 the value on the y-axis is 50.

and also with each increase of the ounce i.e. the interval in the x-axis are increasing by 1-units the calories are increasing by 100 units since the points on the y-axis have a length of 100 units ).
