The formula for the area of a triangle is (1/2)bh = A
when we plug in the numbers, we get (1/2)(3x-1)x = A
using the distributive property we get (1.5x - .5)x = A
Then its 1.5x^2 - .5x = A
then if we factor out 0.5x we get 0.5x(3x-1) = A
then with the zero product property, 0.5x can equal 0 and x would need to equal 0.
if 3x-1 = 0 , then 3x = 1 then x = 1/3. so our answer would be 1/3 I'm pretty sure because a length cannot be 0
Answer:
6.1
Step-by-step explanation:
Draw a picture of an equilateral triangle. Cut the triangle in half, so that you get two 30-60-90 triangles. The area of these smaller triangles is 8 square inches.
The short leg of these triangles (the base) is half the side length: ½ s.
According to properties of 30-60-90 triangles, the long leg (the height) is √3 times the short leg: ½ s√3.
Area of a triangle is half the base times the height:
A = ½bh
8 = ½ (½ s) (½ s√3)
8 = ⅛ s²√3
64 = s²√3
s² = 64/√3
s = √(64/√3)
s ≈ 6.1
so 1.25 is the right answer not sure tho
Subtract the second equation from the first equation.
x = -1
Plug -1 back in to either equation and solve for y.
3(-1) + y =-10
-3 + y = -10
Add 3 to both sides
y = -7
CHECK
3(-1) -7 = -10
2(-1) -7 = -9
(-1, -7)
First, you multiply 42 by .15 which you get $6.30
Then, you subtract $42 by $6.30 which you get the answer: $35.70
