Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer: b = 4, h = 13
Discussion:
For a triangle with base b" and height "h, the area formula is
A= (1/2)bh.
In our case A = 26, h = 5b-7, so
26 = (1/2) b (5b-7). Multiply both sides by 2:
26*2 = b(5b-7) =>
52 = b(5b-7) =>
52 = 5b^2 - 7b => (subtract 52 from both sides)
5b^2 - 7b - 52 = 0. This factors as follows:
(b - 4) (5 b + 13) = 0 (use quadratic formula to find this)
so b = 4 and h = 5b -7 = 5*4 - 7 = 13
Thank you,
MrB
Answer:
d = 1 7/24 or 31/24; midpoint would be half of that,or 31/48
Step-by-step explanation:
Since distance is absolute value, add 2/3 and 5/8 to get the entire distance. Midpoint is that distance divided by 2.

Answer:
You don't really need to do it, but it helps you keep things more organized and easier to follow. Imagine if you're doing some multi-variable equation,
2a + 5b + 4d + 3c + b + a + 2d
that looks like a mess, it'll be easier to look at if you put all the similar variables next to each others like this:
a + 2a + b + 5b + 3c + 2d + 4d
(a + 2a) + (b + 5b) + 3c + (2d + 4d)
now you can add them up much easier.
