Step-by-step explanation:

Cindy is correcy because on "Step 1:" the multiplication was correctly distributed over the subtraction in paranthesis 5(x-2) = 5*x- 5*2 = 5x-10.

Henry was wrrong because he distributed 5 only over x and not over -2 as well 5(x-2) ≠ 5*x-2

Find the area of a trapezoid if the altitude is 6 inches and the median is 8 inches. (Hint: Recall that the median of a

zlopas [31]

Answer:

48 sq. units

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a trapezoid is given by half sum of the bases multiplied by the height

$=\frac{1}{2} (a+b)h$

where a and b are the two parallel sides of the trapezoid and h is the height or amplitude of the trapezoid

But you are aware that, the median of a trapezoid is equal to half the sum of the bases, thus the first part of the formulae is covered by the median

$Median=\frac{1}{2} (a+b)$

Hence area, A, of a trapezoid is simplified to product of median and amplitude

$A=amplitude*median\\\\A=6*8=48sq.units$

At a basketball game, a team made 55 successful shots. They were a combination of 1- and 2-point shots. The team scored 92 po

AysviL [449]

There were 18 one point shots and 37 two point shots.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of one point shots be x and the number of two point shots be y .

So we have the system:

x + y = 55

x + 2y = 92

Subtract the first equation from the second, we get:

0 + y = 92 - 55 = 37.

y = 37.

From equation 1 we have x = 55 - y

therefore x = 55 - 37 = 18.
