Answer:
base = 15 units
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given area of a triangle = 52.5 sq. units
Height is given as 7 and we have to find the base.
Using formula for area of triangle:
Area of triangle =
52.5 * 2 = base × 7
105 = base × 7
base = 15

hope this helped :)
Elimination would be the best
You said X = (5y+1) / (y-2)
Multiply each side by (y-2):
X(y-2) = (5y+1)
Eliminate parentheses:
Xy - 2X = 5y + 1
Add 2X to each side:
Xy = 5y + 1 + 2X
Subtract 5y from each side:
(X-5)y = 1 + 2X
Divide each side by (X-5):
<em>y = (1+2X) / (X-5) </em>
