We can find h by calculating the area S of the parallelogram in two ways. We can write:

. On the other hand,

. Then:
Answer:
54
Step-by-step explanation:
3x -(7-x) = 29 remove the parens
3x - 7 + x = 29 simplify
4x -7 = 29 add 7 to both sides of the equation
4x = 36 divide by
x = 9
then 6x = 6 * 9 = 54
Answer:
x = 7 and 3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
We can say:
x - 7 = 0 and 2x - 3 = 0
<em>Lets solve for x - 7 = 0 first:</em>
Add 7 to each side of "="
=> <u>x = 7</u>
<em>Now lets solve for 2x - 3 = 0</em>
First add 3 to each side of "="
=> 2x = 3
Now divide each side by 2
<u>=> x = 3/2</u>
Hope this helps!
Answer:
15 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
If you make a table of values for the dog and the squirrel using d = rt, then the rates are easy: the dog's rate is 150 and the squirrel's is 100. The t is what we are looking for, so that's our unknown, and the distance is a bit tricky, but let's look at what we know: the dog is 200 feet behind the squirrel, so when the dog catches up to the squirrel, he has run some distance d plus the 200 feet to catch up. Since we don't know what d is, we will just call it d! Now it seems as though we have 2 unknowns which is a problem. However, if we solve both equations (the one for the dog and the one for the squirrel) for t, we can set them equal to each other. Here's the dog's equation:
d = rt
d+200 = 150t
And the squirrel's:
d = 100t
If we solve both for t and set them equal to each other we have:

Now we can cross multiply to solve for d:
150d = 100d + 20,000 and
50d = 20,000
d = 400
But we're not looking for the distance the squirrel traveled before the dog caught it, we are looking for how long it took. So sub that d value back into one of the equations we have solved for t and do the math:

That's 1/4 of a minute which is 15 seconds.
If you multiply 38*(-36) you would get -1368. And to convert that into a fraction it could be -1368/1, -13680/10, etc.
