A= 1/2 h ( sum of the bases)  formula to find Area of a trapezoid

791= 1/2 h (56.5)
791= 28.25 h
 28 = h
height of trapezoid= width of desk

Width = 28cm

Hope this helps

Hello There!

Great Question!

To calculate the area of a rectangular prism, you would multiply the length, the width, and the depth. As we want to measure this in cubic feet, we should convert all of the measurements to feet to begin with.

How wide is the garden? (either 7 or 8 feet)

How long is the garden? (Whichever of 7 or 8 wasn’t used)

How deep is this garden? 6 inches.

Well, that’s not feet, right?

How many inches are in a foot? 12.

Divide 6 by 12, what is the answer? .5.

Y=x +5<br> 5x + 2y=1<br><br> Can you show the steps thanks
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

(-9/7,-26/7)

[more detailed at the bottom of the explanation]

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming that this is a system of equations...

So, knowing that y is equal to x + 5, you would plug that in the second equation and find x. Then you would plug x and find y.

—————

Step 1)

Equation 1:

y = (x + 5)

Equation 2:

5x + 2y = 1

Equation 2 can also be written as:

5x + 2(x+5) = 1

I wrote x+5 instead of y because the first equation tells us that y is equal to x + 5.

—————

Step 2)

Solve for x .

5x + 2(x+5) = 1

5x + 2x + 10 = 1

7x + 10 = 1

7x = 1 - 10

7x = -9

x = -9/7

—————

Step 3)

Plug the x value back in the first equation.

y = -9/7 + 5

y = -26/7

—————

Solution:

x = -9/7

y = -26/7

In ordered pair form:

(-9/7,-26/7)

————— ————— —————

Hope this helps !!!!!!!

Solve 6x-2y = 10 for y<br> A. y = 3x - 10<br> OB. y = -6x + 10<br> O C. y = 6x + 5<br> D. y = 3x - 5

D.y=3x-5
cuz 2y=6x-10
