Area= 1/2bh so 6•6 for the face of the triangle
Solution:
<u>We know that:</u>
- Given equation: 1/4(x - 2) = 3 - (x + 1/6)
<u>Simplify the distributive property.</u>
- 1/4(x - 2) = 3 - (x + 1/6)
- => x/4 - 2/4 = 3 - x - 1/6
<u>Further simplify both sides.</u>
<u>Subtract 17/6 both sides.</u>
- x/4 - 2/4 - 17/6 = 17/6 - 17/6 - x
- => x/4 - 6/12 - 34/12 = -x
- => x/4 - 40/12 = -x
<u>Subtract x/4 both sides.</u>
- x/4 - x/4 - 40/12 = -x - x/4
- => -40/12 = -5x/4
<u>Use cross multiplication.</u>
<u>Divide -60 both sides.</u>
- -160/-60 = -60x/-60
- => x = 160/60 = 2 40/60 = 2 2/3
