The base is 3+(x), altitude is x so substitute. Now we know the area of a triangle is base X height X 1/2. Substitute again! 1/2 (3+x)(x)=35. Multiply both sides by 2 to cancel out the 1/2. Now you have (x)(x+3)=70 and you have to foil out the left side x^2+3x=70. Subtract 70 on both sides x^2+3x-70=0. Find two numbers that multiply to -70 and add to 3. Solve (x+10)(x-7)=0. the x value is 7. since you can't have negative length values. Substitute 7 into 3+x for the base so you know the base is 10 and the height is 7.

Answer:
There is exactly 1 solution and it is a double root.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find this, factor the equation and solve.
x^2 + 10x - 25 = 0
(x - 5)(x - 5) = 0
Now that we have this factored, we can set each parenthesis equal to 0 and solve separately.
x - 5 = 0
x = 5
x - 5 = 0
x = 5
Because there are two of the exact same answer, we know it to be a double root.
