I’m confused on this one

Mashutka [201]

Greetings!

The formula for the area of any triangle is as followed:

$A_{triangle}=\frac{bh}{2}$

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<u>Let Statements:</u>

Let the variable...

→ $b$ represent the length of the base of the triangle

→ $h$ represent the length of the height of the triangle

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Using the information provided from the question, we can substitute its values in place of the variables and solve for the last remaining variable:

$10=\frac{(4)(x+3)}{2}$

Distribute the parenthesis<em> (The Distributive Property) </em>:

$10=\frac{((4)(x)+(4)(3))}{2}$

$10=\frac{4x+12}{2}$

Reduce the fraction to lowest terms:

$10=2x+6$

Add -6 to both sides of the equation:

$(10)+(-6)=(2x+6)+(-6)$

$4=2x$

Divide both sides of the equation by 2:

$\frac{4}{2}=\frac{2x}{2}$

$2=x$

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Answer to this Problem is:

$\boxed{x=2}$

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope this helped!

What is the slope of the line of (1,0) and (-1,-3)

Alinara [238K]

Slope formula: m = $\frac{(y2-y1)}{(x2-x1)}$ (Knowing that m represents the slope)

Substitute (1,0) for (x1,y1), and (-1,-3) for (x2,y2)

Slope of the line of (1,0) and (-1,-3) is:

m = $\frac{(-3-0)}{(-1-1)}$ = $\frac{-3}{-2}$ = $\frac{3}{2}$

(Simplify)

Slope of the line of (1,0) and (-1,-3) is $\frac{3}{2}$
