Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2-1/3=?

3/6-2/6=1/6

so lets try 36 since 6x6=36

1/2 of 36 is 18

1/3 of 36 is 12

18-12=6

The equation a=1/2(b^1+b^2)h can be determined the area, a, of a trapezoid with height, h, and base lengths, b^1 and b^2 Which a
Evgesh-ka [11]

The complete question is as follows.

The equation a = \frac{1}{2}(b_1 + b_2 )h can be used to determine the area , <em>a</em>, of a trapezoid with height , h, and base lengths, b_1 and b_2. Which are equivalent equations?

(a) \frac{2a}{h} - b_2 = b_1

(b) \frac{a}{2h} - b_2 = b_1

(c) \frac{2a - b_2}{h} = b_1

(d) \frac{2a}{b_1 + b_2} = h

(e) \frac{a}{2(b_1 + b_2)} = h

Answer: (a) \frac{2a}{h} - b_2 = b_1; (d) \frac{2a}{b_1 + b_2} = h;

Step-by-step explanation: To determine b_1:

a = \frac{1}{2}(b_1 + b_2 )h

2a = (b_1 + b_2)h

\frac{2a}{h} = b_1 + b_2

\frac{2a}{h} - b_2 = b_1

To determine h:

a = \frac{1}{2}(b_1 + b_2 )h

2a = (b_1 + b_2)h

\frac{2a}{(b_1 + b_2)} = h

To determine b_2

a = \frac{1}{2}(b_1 + b_2 )h

2a = (b_1 + b_2)h

\frac{2a}{h} = (b_1 + b_2)

\frac{2a}{h} - b_1 = b_2

Checking the alternatives, you have that \frac{2a}{h} - b_2 = b_1 and \frac{2a}{(b_1 + b_2)} = h, so alternatives <u>A</u> and <u>D</u> are correct.

X-4y=7 -6x-3y=12 how do i solve by substitution​
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

x = 15

y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

X-4y=7 | ×6 |

-6x-3y=12 | ×1 |

6x - 24y = 42

-6x - 3y = 12

___________+

27y = 54

y = 54/27

y = 2

x - 4y = 7

x - 4(2) = 7

x - 8 = 7

x = 7 + 8

x = 15
