Answer: H=12 and B=8
Looking at the problem, you are given the area, <em>a</em> , and told the h is 4 meters longer than <em>b; </em>in other words, <em>h</em>=<em>b</em>+4.
Since <em>a=</em>1/2<em>bh</em>, you can replace <em>a</em> with 48. Also, since <em>h</em> is <em>b</em>+4, you can replace that as well. You'd end up with this equation:
48=1/2b(b+4)
1. Seeing that 48 is 1/2 of <em>b,</em> you know that you have twice the value of 48, or 96. So, you can put that 96=<em>b(b+4). </em>
2.<em> </em>Now, thinking through factors of 96- 1 x 96, 2 x 48, 3 x 32, 4 x 24, 6 x 16, or 8 x 12, the only pair in which <em>h </em>is b+4 is 12 x 8.

Y = -(1/2)x + 4
y + (1/2)x =4
(1/2)x + y = 4
Multiply both sides by 2
2*(1/2)x + 2*y = 2*4
x + 2y = 8
Option B.
Where’s the cone? Is there a picture of a cone? I can’t really solve this, I’m sorry if I bother you
Distributive property is
a(b+c)=ab+ac so
first, distribute
remember than (-) times (-)=(+)
-5(3x-8)=(-5)(3x)+(-5)(-8)=-15x+(+40)=-15x+40
so it is -15x+40=-45
the answe ris B
