Since AB and BC are two parts of AC, AC = AB + BC

let's plug the expressions from the question into our equation above.

19 = 3x + 1 + 2x - 7

Combine like terms

19 = 5x - 6

Add 6 to both sides.

25 = 5x

Divide both sides by 5

5 = x

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that B is between A and C then

AB + BC = AC , substitute values

3x + 1 + 2x - 7 = 19 , that is

5x - 6 = 19 ( add 6 to both sides )

5x = 25 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 5

To find the answer you must first make the equation which is

(5x)+85=150

subtract 85 from 150

(5x)=65

now divide 65 by 5

resulting in the answer

X=13

To check this

(5 x 13)+85=160

(5x)+85≤150

valkas [14]

Respuesta:

3,2 metros

Explicación paso a paso:

Área del trapecio:

A = 1/2 (a + b) h

h = altura; ayb son las bases

Área, A = 60

Sea una base más pequeña = a = 18;

b = 18 + 3/2 = 19,5

La altura se puede calcular así;

60 = 1/2 (18 + 19,5) h

60 * 2 = 37,5 horas

120 = 37,5 h

h = 120 / 37,5

h = 3,2 metros
