Answers:  height, "h", of a triangle:    <span> h = 2A /  (b₁ + b₂) .
___________________________________________________ </span>
Explanation:
__________________________________________________
The area of a triangle, "A", is equal to (1/2) * (b₁ + b₂) * h ; 
                                    or:  A = (1/2) * (b₁ + b₂) * h
                                    or: write as:  A =  [(b₁ + b₂) * h] / 2 ;
          ___________________________________________
                                     in which:  A = area of the triangle; 
                                                       b₁ = length of one of the bases
                                                                 of the triangle ("base 1");
                                                       b₂ = length of the other base
                                                                 of the triangle ("base 2");
                                                       h = height of the triangle;
____________________________________________________
To find the height of the triangle, we rearrange the formula to solve for "h" (height); assuming that all the units are the same (e.g. feet, centimeters); if no "units" are given, then the assumption is that the units are all the same.
We can use the term "units" if desired, in such cases; in which the area, "A" is measured in "square units"; or "units²",
_________________________________
So, given our formula for the "Area, "A"; of a triangle:
_________________________________________________
 A =  [(b₁ + b₂) * h] / 2 ; we solve for "h" in terms of the other values; by isolating "h" (height) on one side of the equation.
     If we knew the other values; we plug in the those other values.
______________________________________________
  Given:   A =  [(b₁ + b₂) * h] / 2 ;

Multiply EACH side of the equation by "2" ;
_________________________________________
            2*A = {  [(b₁ + b₂) * h] / 2 } * 2 ;
_________________________________________
to get:
_________________________________________
           2A = (b₁ + b₂) * h ;
_____________________________________________________
           Now, divide EACH side of the equation by:  "(b₁ + b₂)" ;  to isolate "h"
on one side of the equation; and solve for "h" (height) in terms of the other values;
_____________________________________
            2A /  (b₁ + b₂) = [ (b₁ + b₂) * h ] / (b₁ + b₂);
______________________________________
to get:
_______________________________________________
           2A /  (b₁ + b₂)  =  h ;  ↔<span>  h = 2A /  (b₁ + b₂)  .
__________________________________________________</span>

Ms. Carr's Class Is Selling Magazines To Raise Money For A Field Trip. The Students In The Class Device They Wanted To Make 5.50
FinnZ [79.3K]

Here you are giving only the amount they want to raise (namely profit times number of magazines sold), and here you are also giving Money they want to raise... So clarifying, the money they want to raise, should include the money they will spend on buying the magazines (there is no statement saying they found them, or were given the magazines, so a cost should be involved) 

Now if they are only making the count of "Field trip costs X amount of money, and given we have to make a profit of $5.5, How many must we sell?" then the equation should be n=X/5.5 

Should the story be, how much money must they raise to have a profit of 5.5 on each magazine and still have enough for the field trip, then you have a different equation which varies only in adding the cost of each magazine, either case, M should be defined not as money they need to raise (cause here they will be short on their goal) but Money they must earn. And again, you should rewrite your equation to be: 

M=Amount they must raise 
C=Cost per magazine 
n=Number of magazines 
p=profit $5.5 per magazine 

C+p=M/n 

And rewriting the previous they should make: 

n(C+p)=M -----> n(C+5.5)=M <span>m/n = 5.50 </span>
<span>m/n x n = 5.50 x n //// multiply each side by n </span>

<span>m = 5.5n</span>
