X basketball players who tried out for the team were chosen. They were distributed into 5 groups each. In one of the groups, 2 of the teammates left. How many players did that group have?
I'm sure you can word this even better.. I'm just in a rush.
(13530-8200)/8200 times 100
Identity property of addition
Area=1/2bh
h=altitude
b=legnth of base
b is 3 times h
b=3h
divide by 3
b/3=h
area=1/2bh
subsitute b/3 for h
54=1/2(b)(b/3)
multiply bothsides by 2/1
108=b(b/3)
108=(b^2)/3
multipy both sides by 3
324=b^2
square root boh sides
18=b
legnth of base=18
