15x^2 = 12x
divide each side by x
15x = 12
now divide each side by 15
x = 12/15 or 4/5 which is also 0.8

Length of the base of the given triangle is (x+3) units and the perpendicular height is (x-1)units. If the area of the triangle
Lana71 [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of a triangle is

baseline × height / 2

so, in our case we know this is 10 :

(x+3)(x-1)/2 = 10

(x+3)(x-1) = 20

x² - x + 3x - 3 = 20

x² + 2x - 23 = 0

that is exactly the provided equation. so, yes, x satisfies it.

the general solution to a quadratic equation is

x = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/(2a)

in our case

a = 1

b = 2

c = -23

x = (-2 ± sqrt(2² - 4×1×-23))/(2×1) =

= (-2 ± sqrt(4 + 92))/2 = (-2 ± sqrt(96))/2 =

= (-2 ± sqrt(16×6))/2 = (-2 ± 4×sqrt(6))/2 =

= -1 ± 2×sqrt(6)

x1 = -1 + 2×sqrt(6) = 3.898979486... ≈ 4

or using sqrt(6) ≈ 2.45

= -1 + 2×2.45 = -1 + 4.9 = 3.9 ≈ 4

x2 = -1 - 2×sqrt(6) = -5.898979486... ≈ -6

or using sqrt(6) ≈ 2.45

= -1 - 2×2.45 = -1 - 4.9 = -5.9 ≈ -6

x2 would give us negative lengths for the triangle, which does not make sense.

so, x = 4 is our solution.

and that makes the height x-1 = 4-1 = 3 units.
