Answer:

x = 5/3 x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

|3x-1| = 4

There are two solutions, one positive and one negative

3x-1 =4 and 3x-1 = -4

Add 1 to each side

3x-1+1 = 4+1 3x-1+1 = -4+1

3x = 5 3x = -3

Divide by 3

3x/3 = 5/3 3x/3 = -3/3

x = 5/3 x = -1

What is the length of the base of a triangle with height 18 m and area 99 square m?

Ivan

Use the equation for the area of a triangle:
$A = \frac{1}{2} hb$
where A = area, h = height of the triangle, and b = base of the triangle.

You know that h=18m and A=99 $m^{2}$ . Plug those values into the equation and solve for b, the base.
$A = \frac{1}{2} hb \\ 
99 = \frac{1}{2} (18)b \\ 
99=9b\\
b=11$

The base is 11m long.

What is the square root of 28x to the third power y to the third power

Colt1911 [192]

Hello!

√28x³y³ is equal to $2xy\sqrt{7xy}$

We can find this solution through the following steps.

Rewriting the equation by factoring 4 from 28, factoring out x², and factoring out y²
We then can rewrite 4 as 2² in our equation, leaving us with $\sqrt{2^{2}*7*(x^{2}x)*y^{2}y }$
We will then move our x and 7, and rewrite $2^{2}*x^{2}* y^{2}$ as $(2xy)^{2}$
We can then pull the terms from the radical leaving us with $2xy\sqrt{7xy}$
