Answer:
y=1/2x
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula of an area of a triangle:

b - base
h - height
We have b = 8x and h = 7x. Substitute:

<h3>Answer: 28x²</h3>
Answer:
10 boys, 15 girls
Step-by-step explanation:
Original ratio: 2 boys/3 girls
let x be the scale factor of the ratio
2x plus 5 boys over 3x girls = 1 (because the # of boys/girls are the same)-------> 2x+5/3x = 1
Simplify: 2x+5=3x
Simplify: 5=x
plug x back into the original ratio: 10/15
Check: 10/15 = 2/3
10 boys + 5 boys = 15, 15/15 = 1
