Simplifying
10 = 2r + -8
Reorder the terms:
10 = -8 + 2r
Solving
10 = -8 + 2r
Solving for variable 'r'.
Move all terms containing r to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-2r' to each side of the equation.
10 + -2r = -8 + 2r + -2r
Combine like terms: 2r + -2r = 0
10 + -2r = -8 + 0
10 + -2r = -8
Add '-10' to each side of the equation.
10 + -10 + -2r = -8 + -10
Combine like terms: 10 + -10 = 0
0 + -2r = -8 + -10
-2r = -8 + -10
Combine like terms: -8 + -10 = -18
-2r = -18
Divide each side by '-2'.
r = 9
Simplifying
r = 9
The idea being, when you run a perpendicular line to the base, from the right-angle in a right-triangle, like in this case, what you end up with is, three similar triangles, a Large triangle containing the two smaller ones, a Medium triangle and a Small one, check the picture below.
since all three are similar, we can use the proportions on the corresponding sides, as you see in the picture, the base of the triangle then will just be x + y.
The prime factorisation for 58 is 2 x 29

Answer: 50
Step-by-step explanation: If a dozen is 3 pounds then half a dozen would 6 which should be 1.50 lb. Now we need to know how much 1 banana weights. lets add all twelve until we have 3 pounds. 12 x 25 = 300 or 3.00 lb so we now know 2 bananas weight 50.
Is this the whole question ?
