Answer:
C.) 10
Step-by-step explanation:
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:
5^-4
1 / 5^4
Step-by-step explanation:
5^3 / 5^7
We know a^b / a^c = a^(b-c)
5^(3-7)
5^-4
If you are not allowed to have negative exponents
We know a^-b = 1/a^b
1 / 5^4
