Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 5 = 84/x

x² - 5x = 84

x² - 5x - 84 = 0

x = (5 ±√(5² - 4(1)(-84))) / 2

x = (5 ± 19) / 2

x = -7 ignore

x = 12

Please help, I’m struggling
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

49.5 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle is   A = (height) X (base) / 2

So if you plug in the numbers you get:

806.9 = (32.6) X (base) / 2

1613.8 = (32.6) X (base)

1613.8 / 32.6 = base

base =  49.5 mi

write an equation of the line with the following information. Through (4,1) and perpendicular to y=1/3x +3
Yakvenalex [24]
Perpendicular means the two lines' slopes are negative reciprocal to each other. the slope of the given line is 1/3, therefore the slope of the perpendicular line is -3/1, which is -3
use the point-slope form: the given point is (4,1), so (y-1)=-3(x-4)
you can stop right here or you can write it into slope intercept form:
y-1=-3x+12
y=-3x+13

SOLVE USING ELIMINATION *20 POINTS*
V125BC [204]

1. No answer ( may be due to incorrect question)

2. x = -3

y = 4

3. x= 4

y = 2

4.x = -63/40

y= -19/20

Step 1

Multiply equation 1 by the coefficient of x in equation 2

Multiply equation 2 by the coefficient of x I'm equation 1

(after completing this step you will derive equation 3 and 4 )

Step 2

Subtract equation 4 from equation 3

Step 3

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of y

Step 4

substitute your value for y in equation 1 or 2

(after this you will derive the values of x)

Note : This method is for the Elimination of x

I hope it helps
