(x - 10) × 2
You have to multiply it by 2 so that you get the area
I need you to post a diagram.
However, you are describing a 30 60 90 triangle and here is a good page to learn about those: http://www.1728.org/trig2.htm
Answer:
Assume x is directly proportional to y :
when y is 9, x is 2:
substitute to find value of k :
Therefore, equation is:
When you have this type of problem, you need to combine the like-terms and isolate the variable.
3x + 122 = 22x - 11
Add 11 to both sides to get rid of it
3x + 122 + 11 = 22x - 11 + 11 (-11 + 11=0)
3x + 133 = 22x
Then you would bring the 3x to the other side, so subtract 3x from both sides
3x + 133 = 22x
-3x -3x
133 = 22x - 3x
133 = 19x
Then divide both sides by 19 to isolate x
133/19 = 19x/19
133/19 = 7, so x = 7
Hope this helps!!
