Mathematics

docker41 [41]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

3(x+8)=4+x

distribute the 3 by multiplying it with the x and the 8

3x+24=4+x

subtract x from both sides

2x+24=4

subtract 24 from both sides

2x=4-24

2x=-20

divide each side by 2

leaving the variable isolated

x=-10

Step-by-step explanation:

It is important to balance each side by doing the same to both sides such as at the end divide both sides by 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ā means the average

So it means the average of 64 gave their speech which should be 64/2 = 32

So 32 gave their speeches yesterday,

The area of a triangle can be given by (just plug and chug as always):
A_t = \frac{1}{2} bh = \frac{1}{2}(3)(4) = 6ft^2
The area of the triangle is 6ft².

4. I will divide into a triangle and a rectangle (because the actual equation for the area of a pentagon requires it to be a perfect pentagon). Let's do the triangle first (height is 3 because you subtract 12 from 15):
A_t = \frac{1}{2} bh = \frac{1}{2}(8)(3) = 12m^2
A_r = bh = 12(8) = 96m^2
Now we just add them:
96+12 = 108m^2

So, the area of that pentagon is 108m².

5. You are actually wrong on this one because the area of a triangle is:
A_t = \frac{1}{2}bh
So, just halve your answer and it will be correct.

6. We can just split it into 4 triangles of equal area and then multiply the area of 1 triangle by 4 to get the total area. Let's do just that:
A_t = \frac{1}{2}bh = \frac{1}{2}(2.5)(5) = 6.25cm^2
Multiply by 4 to get total area:
6.25*4 = 25cm^2

So, the area of the given rhombus is 25cm².
