-4+x=9.5
x=13.5
The student might have subtracted 9.5-4, which results in the answer 5.5. The correct answer is 13.5.
The second one because since n is not negative then nothing will be in the denominator
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a triangle is given by

where
b is the base
h is the height
Here we have an equilateral triangle, which has the 3 sides of the same length.
Let's call L the length of one side.
We know that the perimeter of the triangle is
p = 9 in
The perimeter is the sum of the three sides, so:

Therefore, we find the length of the side:

Therefore the length is the base of the triangle,

The height can be calculated by considering half triangle: the hypothenuse is equal to L, while one side is equal to half the base (b/2), therefore the height is given by Pythagorean's theorem:

Therefore, the area of the triangle is:
