X + x + 2 = 14
2x + 2 = 14
2x = 12, x = 6
Solution: the smallest of the two integers is 6
Answer:
a = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Simplify 5a - 9 + a to 6a - 9.

2) Add 9 to both sides.

3) Simplify 9 + 9 to 18.

4) Divide both sides by 6.

5) Simplify 18/6 to 3.

Therefor, the answer is, a = 3.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
12/(x+2) = 4/(x-2)
Cross-multiply to get:
12x-24 = 4x+8
8x = 32
x = 4
The inscribed circle has its center at the point of intersection of the angle bisectors, which also happen to be the medians. Hence the altitude of the triangle is 3 times the radius, or 12 inches.
The side length of this triangle is 2/√3 times the altitude, so the area is
... Area = (1/2)·b·h = (1/2)·(24/√3 in)·(12 in)
... Area = 48√3 in² ≈ 83.1384 in²
