Answer:

1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

i am not certain but this is how I got it

First distribute which gives you the -3 with 2 I switched them around so I did -3(-5x+2) and you will get 15x-6

Then the opposite of subtraction is addition so you add 6 to both sides so you add six to 12 and to 6 leaving you with 15x=3x+18 you then will subtract 3x from 15x and 3 leaving you with 12x=18 the divide the numbers

After you divide you get 3/2 then put it has a decimal and you get 1.5

Find the area pf a trapezoid with a base of 26.7 ft , a height of 15.4 and top of 9.9 ft

Hello!

To find the area of the trapezoid, you use the formula A=1/2h(a+b), where a and b represent the two base lengths.

Since we already know the two bases and the height, we can just plug them into the equation to find the area.

A=1/2·15.4(26.7+9.9)
A=1/2·15.4(36.6)
A=1/2·563.64
A=281.82

The area is 281.82 ft².

I hope this helps!
