Write down
15-80
Solve it by adding 15 to -80
The final answer is -65
Answer:
A) x + y = 8
B) 3x + 2y = 21
We multiply A) by -2
A) -2x -2y = -16 Then we add this to
B) 3x + 2y = 21
x = 5
y = 3
Second answer is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
width is 4 inches
length is 6 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
the length is 6 inches less than three times the width
l = 3w - 6
a = l * w
a = (3w - 6)w
a = 3w^2 - 6w
area of the rectangle is 24 square inches
3w^2 - 6w = 24
subtract 24 from both sides
3w^2 - 6w - 24 = 0
Divide both sides by 3
w^2 - 2w - 8 = 0
Factor
(w - 4)(w + 2) = 0
w = {-2, 4}
disregard the negative root since measurement must be positive
w = 4
l = 3w - 6
l = 3(4) - 6
l = 6
15 inches
the formula for the area of a triangle is Area=(1/2)(base)(height)
since the problem is looking for the height, we can rewrite it as
Height=(Area)/((1/2)(Base))
then the number must be substituted in
Height=(187.5)/((1/2)(25))
and the answer is 15 inches.
