How many solutions can be found for the equation 4z + 2(z - 4) = 3z + 11

Gnom [1K]

4z+2(z-4)=3z+11 perform indicated multiplication on left side

4z+2z-8=3z+11 combine like terms on left side

6z/-8=3z+11 add 8 to both sides

6z=3z+19 subtract 3z from both sides

3z=19 divide both sides by 3

z=19/3

z=6 1/3

So there is only one solution when z=6 1/3

Find the area of trapezoid JKLM. Round the answer to the nearest tenth.

maksim [4K]

from the diagram, we can see that the height or line perpendicular to the parallel sides is 8.5.

likewise we can see that the parallel sides or "bases" are 24.3 and 9.7, so

$\textit{area of a trapezoid}\\\\ A=\cfrac{h(a+b)}{2}~~ \begin{cases} h=height\\ a,b=\stackrel{parallel~sides}{bases}\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ h=8.5\\ a=24.3\\ b=9.7 \end{cases}\implies \begin{array}{llll} A=\cfrac{8.5(24.3+9.7)}{2}\\\\ A=\cfrac{8.5(34)}{2}\implies A=144.5~in^2 \end{array}$
