Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:  5 27  7  16

area = 1/2 bh

height of a triangle is 7 ft more than its base

base = b

height = b + 7

area = 30

area = 1/2 b(h)

30 = 1/2 b(b + 7)

30 = 0.5(b²+ 7b)

30 = 1/2 b²+ 3.5b           solve for b

1/2 b²+ 3.5b = 30        

1/2 b²+ 3.5b - 30 = 0        

b²+ 7b - 60 = 0            factor

   (b +12)(b - 5) = 0    when b = -12 or 5     base length can't be negative

b = base = 5

area = 1/2 bh     1/2×2(9)     = 9

area = 1/2 bh     1/2×5(12)     = 60

area = 1/2 bh     1/2×9(16)     = 56

area = 1/2 bh     1/2×12(19)     = 114

I just need a little help on this ??! Please.
lawyer [7]

1. Since it's m - 7 you would have 7 to both sides so you would in fact have m < 13. If you double check your answer, you see that if m is say 12 (because 12 is obviously less than 13), 12 - 7 < 6

2. Again, use the same process on this problem as the first one. Add 8 to each sides because it's you're subtracting 8 from n. So you end up with n > 13. Check your answer. Say n is 14. 14 - 8 > 5

3. This one is different because you are adding 5 to p. So in order to get p by itself, you need to subtract 5 from both sides. p < 5. Say p is 4, 4 + 5 < 10.

When working with problems like these, you need to isolate the variable on one side and get it by itself.

I have some questions regarding combinations in finite. Here is my first one I am stumped on:
podryga [215]

We will get the number of possible selections, and then subtract the number less than 25 cents.

We can choose the number of dimes 5 ways 0,1,2,3 or 4.
We can choose the number of nickels 4 ways 0,1,2 or 3.
We can choose the number of quarters 3 ways 0,1, or 2.

That's 5*4*3  = 60 selections 

Now we must subtract from the 60 the number of selections of coins that are less than 25 cents. These will involve only dimes and nickels. 

To get a selection of coin worth less than 25 cents:
If we use no dimes, we can use 0,1,2  on all 3 nickels.
That's 4 selections less than 25 cents. (that includes the choice of No coins at all in the 60, which we must subtract).

If we use exactly 1 dime , we can use 0,1,2, or all 3 nickels.
That's the 3 combinations less than 25 cents.

And there is 1 other selection less than 25 cents, 2 dimes and no nickels. 

So that's 4+3+1 = 8 selections which we must subtract from the 60.
 
Answer 60-8 = 52 selections of coins worth 25 cents or more.

If 4 Maths books are selected from 6 different Maths different English books, how many ways can the seven om Maths books and 3 E
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Please see the answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Since there’s no restrictions .Therefore , the number of ways = 7!*150 = 756000

b. The number of ways such that the 4 math books remain together

The pattern is as follows:  MMMMEEE, EMMMMEE, EEMMMME, and EEEMMMM

Where M = Math’s Book and E= English Book.  

Number of ways = 4!*8!*4*150= 86400 ways.

c. The number of ways such that  math book is at the beginning of the shelf

The number of ways = 6!*4*150 = 432000

d. The number of ways such that  math and English books alternate

The number of ways = 150*4!*3! =2160 ways

e.  The number of ways such that math is at the beginning and an English book is in the middle of the shelf. The number of ways = 4*3*5!*150 =216000 ways.
