Step-by-step explanation:
the area of a triangle
baseline × height / 2
in our case
baseline × height / 2 = 60 in²
height = 6×baseline - 16
baseline × (6×baseline - 16) / 2 = 60
baseline × (3×baseline - 8) = 60
3×baseline² - 8×baseline = 60
baseline = x
3x² - 8x - 60 = 0
general solution to a quadratic equation is
x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)
in our case
a = 3
b = -8
c = -60
x = (8 ± sqrt(64 - 4×3×-60))/(2×3) =
= (8 ± sqrt(64 + 720))/6 = (8 ± sqrt(784))/6 =
= (8 ± 28)/6
x1 = (8 + 28)/6 = 36/6 = 6
x2 = (8 - 28)/6 = -20/6 = -10/3
x2 as a negative number is not a valid solution for a length in a geometric shape.
so, x = 6 in is our solution for the baseline.
height = 6x - 16 = 6×6 - 16 = 36 - 16 = 20 in
base = 6 in
Hey there! :)
Answer:
x = -24.
Step-by-step explanation:
Plug in the values to find the value of 'k':
-3 = k(6)
Divide both sides by 6 to solve for 'k':
-3/6 = k
k = -1/2
Plug this into the equation to solve for the value of x when y= 12:
12 = -1/2(x)
Divide both sides by -1/2:
-24 = x
x = -24.
Don't shade the part A and the part between A and B. Shade the B part only.
Answer:
dr. potter provides 54 vaccinations TOTAL (including both measles and polio).
p+m=54
since there are 4 doses of polio and of measles, you have to use a variable to distinguish how many doses were given for measles and polio out of 142 given doses.
4p+2m=142
p+m=54
4p+2m=142
^^system of equation
p+m=54
4p+2m=142
p=54-m
4p+2m=142
(substitute 54-m to the equation)
4(54-m)+2m=142
m=37
(collect like terms, then substitute the value of m into the first equation)
p=54-37
p=17
(m, p)=(37, 17)
