The equation for the area of a triangle is 1/2 x base x height.
Plug in the values that you already have with h being the missing height value:
30= 1/2 x 12 x h
Simplify:
30=6h
Solve:
30/6=h
5=h
The heoght of the triangle is 5 units
Answer:
the equation D ) would cause a consistent-independent system.
Step-by-step explanation:
A ) 5 x + y = 7 /*( -2 )
10 x + 2 y = 14
--------------------
- 10 x - 2 y = - 14
10 x + 2 y = 14
------------------------
0 x = 0 ( Dependent system )
B ) 5 x + y = 7 / * 3
- 15 x - 3 y = - 6
--------------------------
15 x + 3 y = 21
- 15 x - 3 y = - 6
-------------------------
0 x = 15 ( Inconsistent system )
C ) 5 x + y = 7
5 x + y = - 7 / * ( - 1 )
---------------------------
5 x + y = 7
- 5 x - y = 7
------------------
0 x = 14 ( Inconsistent system )
D ) 5 x + y = 7 / * ( - 2 )
6 x + 2 y = 7
------------------
- 10 x - 2 y = - 14
6 x + 2 y = 7
-----------------------
- 4 x = - 7; x = 7/4; y = - 7/4
Answer:
the answer would be B 21.7
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x - 15 ÷ 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it wants you to find the half of your answer after you find the difference, be sure to leave the two at the end of your equation. With that said, let's move into finding out what "the difference of a number and fifteen is". Whenever they tell you 'a number', it means they want you to put a variable, such as x, since you do not know the number and it could be any number. Now, the "difference" of something usually means...you guessed it, subtraction! Now that you've decoded your equation, you now know it means that x - 15 is the first part, and you can now put the one half right after it.
If this is confusing, I can explain further. :D
The speed of one car is 'S'. The speed of the other car is (S + 10).
In 5 hours, the first car travels (5S) miles, and the other car travels 5(S + 10) miles.
Since they're going in opposite directions, the distance between them at any time
is the sum of the distance that each one has traveled.
500 = (5S) + 5(S + 10)
500 = 5S + 5S + 50
500 = 10S + 50
Subtract 50 from each side:
450 = 10S
Divide each side by 10
S = <u>45</u>
S + 10 = <u>55</u>
