Answer:

x=16

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 ( x - 4 ) = 1/3 ( x + 2)

distribute both sides

1 /2 (x−4)= 1/ 3 (x+2)

( 1 /2 )(x) + ( 1/ 2 )(−4) =( 1 /3 ) (x)+( 1/3 )(2)(Distribute)

1 /2 x+−2= 1 /3 x+ 2 /3

1 /2 x+−2= 1 /3 x+ 2 /3

Step 2: Subtract 1/3x from both sides.

1/2x -2 -1/3 x

x= 1 /3 x + 2/3  − 1/ 3 x

1 /6  x−2= 2/ 3

Step 3: Add 2 to both sides.

1 /6 x −2+2= 2/ 3  +2

1 /6 x = 8 /3

Step 4: Multiply both sides by 6.

6*( 1/6 x) =6*( 8 /3 )

x=16

First, apply the distribution property of multiplication.
1/2x - 2 = 1/3x + 2/3
Then, isolate x. To do this, subtract 1/2x on both sides and subtract 2/3 from both sides.
-2 - 2/3 = 1/3x - 1/2x
Make them the same denominator. The left side's denominator is 3 and the right side's denominator is 6.
-6/3 - 2/3 = 2/6x - 3/6x
Subtract.
-8/3 = -1/6x
Multiply both sides by -6 to get rid of the denominator on x.
-8/3 * -6 = -1/6x * -6
48/3 = x
16 = x
Your answer is 16.

Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height

so old triangle we have  1/2 x b x h = 48

new triangle has base 3 times as long and height is half as long
 so we would get:

1/2 x (3B) x (1/2H) = area

rewrite as 1/2 x 3/2 x b x H = area

divide by original are os 1/2 x b x h and you end up with 3/2

so new area = 3/2 x old area

new area = 3/2 * 48 = 72 square inches

True or false? A figure that has opposite sides with equal lengths and equal slopes and diagonals with slopes that are negative
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals are at right angles ( because of the negative reciprocal slopes)

so it could be a square or a rhombus.

Find the measures of the interior angles of the triangle.
jeka94

Answer:

∠A = 30°

∠B = 60°

∠C= 90°

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle, you can see it mainly by the red square in C, and it is always used to mark 90 degrees.

Knowing that, you now know <em>∠C is 90°</em>

Now, to find ∠B, you should use the following equation:

  • A+B+C = 180°

This means that the sum of the three angles of a triangle gives 180. ALWAYS. So to find the missing angle, ∠B, do the following:

Fill the values of the equation with the angles you now know:

  • 30° + B + 90° = 180

Solve the equation, passing the 30° and 90° to the other side of the equal sing with Inverse Operation:

  • B = 180° - 30° - 90°

<em>B = 60</em>

<em>Hope it helps!!</em>
