Answer:
<h2><u>b = 2 or b = -2</u></h2>
Explanation:
|4b + 4| = |2b + 8|
<em>Solve absolute value</em>
|4b + 4| = |2b + 8|
Either 4b + 4 = 2b + 8 or 4b + 4 = −(2b + 8)
4b + 4 = 2b + 8 <em>(Possibility 1)</em>
4b + 4 − 2b = 2b + 8 − 2b <em>(Subtract 2b from both sides)</em>
2b + 4 = 8
2b + 4 − 4 = 8 − 4 <em>(Subtract 4 from both sides)</em>
2b = 4
2b / 2 = 4 / 2 <em>(Divide both sides by 2)</em>
b = 2
4b + 4 = −(2b + 8) <em>(Possibility 2)</em>
4b + 4 = −2b − 8 <em>(Simplify both sides of the equation)</em>
4b + 4 + 2b = −2b − 8 + 2b <em>(Add 2b to both sides)</em>
6b + 4 = −8
6b + 4 − 4 = −8 − 4 <em>(Subtract 4 from both sides)</em>
6b = −12
6b / 6 = -12 / 6 <em>(Divide both sides by 6)</em>
b = -2
<h2><u>b = 2 or b = -2</u></h2>
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
It’s just like adding except with a variable so 5x+3x is like 5+3 except with x so 8x+3=16
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer: b = 4, h = 13
Discussion:
For a triangle with base b" and height "h, the area formula is
A= (1/2)bh.
In our case A = 26, h = 5b-7, so
26 = (1/2) b (5b-7). Multiply both sides by 2:
26*2 = b(5b-7) =>
52 = b(5b-7) =>
52 = 5b^2 - 7b => (subtract 52 from both sides)
5b^2 - 7b - 52 = 0. This factors as follows:
(b - 4) (5 b + 13) = 0 (use quadratic formula to find this)
so b = 4 and h = 5b -7 = 5*4 - 7 = 13
Thank you,

10 more than 451 would be 451 + 10 = 461.
