3x-2(x+3)=4x-9-x is the question
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 2(x + 3) = 4x - 9 - x
Start by multiplying 2 by the values in the parenthesis
3x - 2x + 6 = 4x - 9 - x
Subtract 3x - 2x and 4x - x
x + 5 = 3x - 9
Add 9 to both sides of the equation
x + 14 = 3x
Subtract x from both sides of the equation
14 = 2x
Divide both sides of the equation by 2

Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
A =
Substitute the given values with h = a, then
16.5 = ( multiply both sides by 2 )
33 = a(a + 8) ← distribute
33 = a² + 8a ( subtract 33 from both sides )
0 = a² + 8a - 33 ← in standard form
0 = (a + 11)(a - 3) ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for a
a + 11 = 0 ⇒ a = - 11
a - 3 = 0 ⇒ a = 3
However, a > 0 thus a = 3
Hence the height is 3 feet
