Answer: You would add them together, not subtract.

Step-by-step explanation: When you’re combining like terms, you always “add“ them together. For that example, you would add 3x and 10x together along with 4 and -9 together. That would look like (3x + 10x) + [4 + (-9)], which simplifies to 13x - 5 = 180.

The area of a triangle is 30 square centimeters and its base is 10 cm. What is the height in cm of the triangle

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The height of the triangle is $6$ cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

----------------------------------------

The formula for solving the area of a triangle is $A=\frac{1}{2}bh$ where $b$ stands for base and $h$ stands for height.

Let's substitute 30 $cm^2$ for the area and 10 for the base.

$30=\frac{1}{2} (10)h$

-------------------->>>>

Now, let's solve to find the height.

$30=\frac{1}{2}(10)h$

Multiply $\frac{1}{2}$ times $10$

$30=5h$

Divide both sides by 5.

$6=h$

-----------------------------------------

Chantel counted 48 books on 6 shelves in the library. How many books would she expect to count on 12 shelves?

Start by finding out how many books per shelf. So divide 48 by 6, which would mean 8 books per shelf.
Multiply this by 12 shelves, which gives you 96 books.
