The area is 18 units squared, I believe.
X is the second side. Side 1 is s-5. side 3 is s-2 (s-5+3). They all must add up to 17. Well there is your answer right there. S-2
Answer:
The answer is <u>9</u>
<u>Explanation</u><u>:</u><u> </u>
0.5a+8.75=13.25
We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand
0.5a+8.75=13.25
We move all terms containing a to the left and all other terms to the right.
+ 0.5a=+13.25-8.75
We simplify left and right side of the equation.
+ 0.5a=+4.5
We divide both sides of the equation by 0.5 to get a.
a=9
