Answer:
x = 9, y = 29 or (8,29)
Step-by-step explanation:
Set the equations equal to each other because they both equal y:
4x - 3 = 2x + 13
Combine like terms:
2x = 16
Divide by 2:
x = 8
Plug 8 into the x for both equations and see if the y is the same:
y = 4(8) - 3 = 32 - 3 = 29
y = 2(8) + 13 = 16 + 13 = 29
Answer:
270
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
b = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of a triangle is calculated as
A = bh ( b is the base and h the height )
Here h = 3x + 15 and A = 15x + 75, thus
× b × (3x + 15) = 15x + 75
Multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction
b(3x + 15) = 30x + 150
Divide both sides by (3x + 15)
b = ← factor numerator and denominator
= ← cancel the factor (x + 5) on numerator/denominator
=
= 10
