$h = \frac{2A}{b} \ \ \ and\ \ \ A=26\ cm^2\ \ \ and\ \ \ b=8\ cm\\\\h= \frac{2\cdot26}{8} = \frac{2\cdot2\cdot13}{2\cdot2\cdot2} = \frac{13}{2} =6.5\ [cm]\\\\Ans.\ D$

Answer:

$5 {x}^{2} + 2x = 7x + 3x \\ 5 {x}^{2} + 2x = 10x \\ 5 {x}^{2} = 10x - 2x \\ 5 {x}^{2} = 8x \\ 5x = 8 \\ x = \frac{8}{5} = 1.6 \\ thank \: you$

Emma has money into savings accounts. One rate is 8% and the other is 12%. If she has $450 more in the 12% account and the total

AveGali [126]

Let's say that the value invested in the account with a rate of 8% is "x", then the amount invested in the account with a rate of 12% is:

$x+450$

To calculate the total interest we need to calculate the interest of each individual account and sum them:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{8}{100}\cdot x=0.08\cdot x \\ \frac{12}{100}\cdot(x+450)=0.12\cdot x+54 \end{gathered}$

The total interest is the sum of the two expressions above:

$\begin{gathered} 220=(0.08\cdot x)+(0.12\cdot x+54) \\ 220=0.08\cdot x+0.12\cdot x+54 \\ 220-54=0.2\cdot x \\ 166=0.2\cdot x \\ 0.2\cdot x=166 \\ x=\frac{166}{0.2} \\ x=830 \end{gathered}$

The value invested in the account with 8% interest is 830, the one invested in the account with 12% interest is 1280.

Solve the equation. Check the solution.<br> 8- 2x - 5- 13x = 6

V125BC [204]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

8- 2x - 5- 13x = 6

Combine like terms

-15x+3=6

Subtract 3 from each side

-15x+3-3=6-3

-15x = 3

Divide each side by -15

x = 3/-15

x = -1/5

Check

8 - 2(-1/5) -5 -13(-1/5) = 6

8 + 2/5 -5 +13/5 = 6

3 + 15/5 = 6

3+3=6

6=6
