Answer:
B. 12ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of kite is 2 times the area of triangle
= 2[(1/2)(4)AC] = 48, ie., AC = 12 ft
6x+5=5x+8+2x
Add 2x to 5x
6x+5=7x+8
Subtract 6x from both sides
5=x+8
Subtract 8 from both sides
Final Answer: -3=x
And so no, -5 is not the solution to this equation.
Let x be the number of boxes sold by Alison, 3x be the number of boxes sold by Stephanie
and 4x-2 be the number of boxes sold by Amanda
(x) + (3x) + (4x-2) = 190
8x + -2 = 190
8x = 192
x= 24
Alison: 24 boxes
Stephanie: 72 boxes
Amanda: 94 boxes
