Answer:
x = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
6(x − 5) = 54
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
6(x − 5) = 54
(6)(x) + (6)(−5) = 54(Distribute)
6x + − 30 = 54
6x − 30 = 54
Step 2: Add 30 to both sides.
6x − 30 + 30 = 54 + 30
6x = 84
Step 3: Divide both sides by 6.
6x/6 = 84/6
x = 14
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Find the area of the 4 triangles and add them.
Area of triangle = base × height × 0.5

Answer: 8 inches
Solving Steps:
x(x + 6) = 112
x^2 + 6x = 112
x^2 + 6x - 112 = 0
(x + 14)(x - 8) = 0
x + 14 = 0
x = -14
^^^ reject because distance can’t be negative
x - 8 = 0
x = 8
Check:
x(x + 6) = 112
8(8 + 6) = 112
64 + 48 = 112
112 = 112
