The area of the triangle could be determined by multiplying the length and the width. Since, we are given the area and the length, to find the width, you divide the area by the length:
w = A ÷ l
w = (x2 - 2x - 15) ÷ (x+3)
What do you have to multiply to (x+3) to yield x2 - 2x - 15? That would be x - 5. Since the sum of -5 and 3 = -2 (middle term) and the their product is -15 (last term).
Hence, the width is (x-5).
Answer:
9/11
Step-by-step explanation:
9/11
If there are 4 trucks then the first truck weighs x
then x+2tons
then x+4tons
then x+6tons = 32tons
so 4x+12=32
-12 -12
/4 /4
x=5
so plug it back in
truck 1= 5tons or 10,000lbs
truck 2= 7tons or 14,000lbs
truck 3= 9tons or 18,000lbs
truck 4= 11tons or 22,000lbs
Simple, since your equation is y=35x+45, it's quite simple to see what is the y-intercept.
It's written in y=mx+b form, the b being the y-intercept.
Thus, your y-intercept, is 45.
