List the factors of 60. Then look at the factors that are 3 apart, a difference of 3. This gives you 12 & 15.
12: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60
15: 15, 30, 46, 60
Your question is not clear, but it looks as though you want to know how Brie can make a similar sandbox with base = 8ft.
Answer:
For Brie to make a similar sandbox, he must use a base = 8ft, and height = (8/3)ft
Step-by-step explanation:
It is possible for Brie to make a similar triangular sandbox with base = 12ft and height = 4ft.
All he must ensure is that the ratio of base to height of the original sandbox is the same ratio of base to height of the one he is trying to make.
The original sandbox is 12:4
Because he wants to use a base = 8ft, the sandbox he is trying to make is 8:x
Where x is the height of the sandbox he is trying to make.
Then for these sandboxes to be similar, the ratio 12:4 = 8:x
=> 12/4 = 8/x
12x = 8 × 4
12x = 32
x = 8/3
The height must be (8/3)ft
Answer:
10a-11b is ur answer
Step-by-step explanation:
combine like terms
8a+2a=10a
-7b-4b=-11b
(always make sure to but in alphabetic order)
10a-11b

(2/5)+(3/(5x))=(x+5)/10
nasty fractions, we hates it forever
so
get rid of all those nasty fractions
multiply both sides by 10x
4x+6=x(x+5)
distribute
4x+6=x^2+5x
minus (4x+6) from both sides
0=x^2+x-6
factor
0=(x-2)(x+3)
set each to zero
0=x-2
2=x
0=x+3
-3=x
x=-3 and 2
