The area of the triangle could be determined by multiplying the length and the width. Since, we are given the area and the length, to find the width, you divide the area by the length:
w = A ÷ l
w = (x2 - 2x - 15) ÷ (x+3)
What do you have to multiply to (x+3) to yield x2 - 2x - 15? That would be x - 5. Since the sum of -5 and 3 = -2 (middle term) and the their product is -15 (last term).
Hence, the width is (x-5).
Use the Pyth. Thm. to calculate the length of MO:
6^2 + 8^2 = |MO| = 36 + 64 = 100. Therefore, |MO| = 10.

Answer: 1.5 or 1 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:

Explanation:
While solving literal equations could be quite overwelhming, simply solve it by using normal equation solving methods.
For example, if you were to solve 2x + 3 = 9
You would add 3 on both sides and divide both sides by 2 to determine x.
Do the same thing for literal equations, and if in doubts, plug in numbers to check your work.
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem, add c on both sides, we do this because we are aiming to eliminate the c from both sides.
a+c =2b
In order to find the value of b, divide both sides by 2, we do this because we want to get rid of the coefficient.
This should leave you with the answer of b=a/2 + c/2
