The answer would be true because 4+5 is > 8
(4x-1)=(5x-8)
x=7
4(7)-1= 27
5(7)-8= 27
So the answer is 27

Answer:
The base is decreasing at 2 cm/min.
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of a triangle is given by:
(1)
Where:
b: is the base
h: is the altitude = 10 cm
If we take the derivative of equation (1) as a function of time we have:
We can find the base by solving equation (1) for b:
Now, having that dh/dt = 1 cm/min, dA/dt = 2 cm²/min we can find db/dt:
Therefore, the base is decreasing at 2 cm/min.
I hope it helps you!
