Answer:

x = 3.51

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, formula to determine the area f a triangle is,

Area = \frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{Height})

     8 = \frac{1}{2}(x + 1)(3x - 7)

16 = x(3x - 7) + 1(3x - 7)

16 = 3x² - 7x + 3x - 7

16 = 3x² - 4x - 7

0 = 3x² - 4x - 23

3x²- 4x - 23 = 0

By quadratic formula,

x = \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}

x = \frac{4\pm \sqrt{(-4)^{2}-4(3)(-23)}}{2(3)}

x = \frac{4\pm \sqrt{292}}{6}

x = \frac{4\pm 17.09}{6}

x = 3.51, -2.18

But the length of sides can't be negative.

Therefore, x = 3.51 will be the answer.

last week the game system was $450. This week the system is on sale for $337.50. By what percent is the price reduced?
zheka24 [161]
25% reduced
you take 337.50 divide by 450 which gives you .75
so you take 100% minus 75% and you get 25%

you can check the work by taking 450 time .25 which gives you 112.5 . and subtract that from 450 you'll end up with 337.50

Use the formula d = rt to find the distance, rate, or time
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

16. d = distance

     r = rate

     t = time.

We know that the rate = 4, and time = 11.

=> d = 4 * 11

=> d = 44

17. We know that distance = 36, and time = 4.

=> 36 * r* 4

=> 36 = 4r

=> 36/4 = 4r/4

=> r = 9

Solve the system of equations. x+2y=6; 3x-14y=8 please help
ira [324]
Let x = 6 = 2y so
3(6 - 2y) + 14y = 8 so
18 - 6y + 14y = 8 so
8y = -10 and
y =  \frac{ - 10}{8} =   - \frac{5}{4}  \\  \\ since \: x = 6 - 2y \\ 6  - 2( \frac{ - 5}{4}) = x  \: so \\ x = 6 +  \frac{10}{4} =  \frac{24}{4} +  \frac{10}{4} =  \frac{34}{4} =  \frac{17}{2}
