Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = base measurement; then height = (x-4).
A = ½•base•height 48 = ½x(x-4
Answer is
-4 ≠ -18
The slash across the equal sign changes it to a not equal sign
Answer:
9.9
Step-by-step explanation:
1: establish the angles, basically label one x (the small one) and the other y (the bigger one)
2. supplementary angles add up to 180, so therefore you have the equation x + y = 180.
3. so y (the bigger one) is 8 less than 3 times the smaller one (x) therefore you come up with the equation y = 3x - 8
4. plug in the equation of the bigger one into the other equation
x + 3x - 8 = 180
(combine like terms)
4x - 8 = 180
5. solve the equation by adding 8 to 180, then by dividing by 4.
x should equal 47
6. plug in 47 into the x + y = 180 equation, subtract 47 from 180 and you end up with 133
i hope i explained it alright
Lets consider SAM's age is 'x' and Hank's age is 'y'
So as per given data Sam's age is 5/3 times of Hank's age
so x = 5/3 * y
3x = 5y --> equation 1
and also sum of their ages is 24
so, x + y = 24
we need to find Hank's age (y)
so x = 24 - y
Now replace x value in equation 1
3(24-y) = 5y
72-3y = 5y
72 = 3y+5y
8y= 72
y= 72/8
y = 9 years.
So the Hank's age is 9 years
