The vase of the triangle would be x because it is unknown and the height would be x+2 because it is 2 more units than the base the formula for the area of a triangle is (base)(height)% 2 =area so (x)(x+2)%2=12 so then you have 1/2x^2+x=12 at this point I would move the 12 to the other side by subtracting to get 1/2x^2+x-12=0 then I would multiply it all by 2 to get x^2 + 2x-24 from there I would factor to get (x+6)(x-4) and your answers would be x= -6 and 4 and because 6 is negative it would not work because distances are always positive so the base would equal 4

8x+5y=-13 3x+4y=10 solve
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

x=−6 and y=7

Step-by-step explanation:

Step: Solve8x+5y=−13for x:

8x+5y=−13

8x+5y+−5y=−13+−5y(Add -5y to both sides)
