Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
9/15 = 3/x
x = 5
Answer: a =3c-15b
b = c/5-a/15
Step-by-step explanation:
4 2/11 = 4.1818181
sqrt5 = 2.2360679......
3/16 = 0.1875
answer:
3/16 terminates ( it only has 4 numbers)
4 2/11 don't terminate but keeps repeating
sqrt5 doesn't terminate or repeat
N is the variable, you solve by subtracting 6 from 20, getting n = 14.
Answer: 30 m ; (or, write as: "30 meters") .
______________________________________________
Explanation:
____________________
Area of a trapezoid, "A" = (1/2) ( b₁ + b₂) h ;
______________________________________________
or, write as: A = ( b₁ + b₂) h / 2 ;
___________________________________
in which: A = area;
b₁ = length of "base 1" (choose either one of the 2 (two bases);
b₂ = length of "base 2" (use the base that is remaining);
h = height of trapezoid;
____________________________________________
From the information given:
___________________________
A = 100 m² ;
h = 5 m
b₁ = 10 m
b₂ = x
___________________________
Find "x", which is: "b₂" ;
__________________________
A = ( b₁ + b₂) h / 2 ;
_____________________________
Plug in our known values; and plug in "x" for "b₂" ; and solve for "x" ;
_________________________________________________________
100 m² = [(10m + x) (5m)] / 2 ; Solve for "x" ;
_________________________________________________________
(10m + x) (5m) = (2)* (100m²) ;
_________________________________________________________
(5m) (10m + x) = 200 m² ;
___________________________________________
Note: The distributive property of multiplication:
____________________________________________
a(b+c) = ab + ac ;
a(b−c) = ab <span>− ac ;
</span>____________________________________________
We have: (5m) (10m + x) = 200 m² ;
____________________________________________
So: (5m) (10m + x) = (5m*10m) + (5m * x) ;
= 50m² + (5m)x ;
_______________________________________________
→ 50m² + (5m)x = 200m² ;
_______________________________________________
Divide the ENTIRE equation by "5m" ;
_______________________________________________
→ { 50m² + (5m)x } / 5m = (200m² / 5m) ;
_______________________________________________
→ 10m + x = 40m ;
________________________________________________
Now, subtract "10m" from EACH side of the equation; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ;
_______________________________________
→ 10m + x − 10m = 40m − 10m ;
to get:
→ x = 30 m ; which is our answer.

Answer: 30 m ; (or, write as: "30 meters") .
