Answer: 4). A = (b1 + b2)h/2
5).
A = (b x h)/2
6). A = b x h
7). A = b x h = 65 x 50 = 3250 ft^2
8). A = (b x h)/2 = (12 x 18)/2 = 108 inches^2
9). A = (b1 + b2)h/2 = (15 + 7)4/2 = 44m^2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{12x}{2x-3x-10}-\frac{x}{x-5}=\frac{12x}{-x-10}-\frac{x}{x-5}\\\\=\frac{12x}{-(x+10)}-\frac{x}{x-5}\\\\=\frac{-12x}{x+10}-\frac{x}{x-5}\\\\=\frac{-12x*(x-5)}{(x+10)*(x-5)}-\frac{x*(x+10)}{(x-5(x+10)}\\\\=\frac{-12x*x-5*(-12x)}{(x+10)(x-5)}-\frac{x*x+x*10}{(x-5)(x+10)}\\\\=\frac{-12x^{2}+60x}{(x+10)(x-5)}-\frac{x^{2}+10x}{(x-5)(x+10)}\\\\=\frac{-12x^{2}+60x-(x^{2}+10x)}{(x+10)(x-5)}\\\\=\frac{-12x^{2} + 60x - x^{2}-10x}{x^{2}+5x-50}\\\\=\frac{-13x^{2}+50x}{x^{2}+5x-50}$

adelina 88 [10]

8 employees exercise at least three times a week

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

At the office where Mika works 41% of the 19 employees exercise at least three times a week

To find: Number of people who exercise at least three times a week

From given information,

Total employees = 19

Employees exercise at least three times a week = 41 % of total employees

Therefore, we have to evaluate 41 % of 19

Number of people exercise at least three times week = 41 % of 19

$\rightarrow 41 \% \text{ of } 19 = 41 \% \times 19\\\\\rightarrow 41 \% \times 19 = \frac{41}{100} \times 19 = 0.41 \times 19\\\\\rightarrow 41 \% \times 19 = 0.41 \times 19 = 7.79 \approx 8$
