Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

AB/AC =1/2

(3x-4)/(2x+12)=1/2

2(3x-4) = 1(2x+12)

6x-8=2x+12

4x=20

X=5

AC/BC =3x-4/7x-2=22/33=2/3

AB/AC=3x-4/7x-2=22/33=2/3

AB/AC=3x-4/2x+12

6x-8=2x+12

You would get 4/5 still trying to work out the last mark

Simplify: 3x(x^2 + 4x - 5)

Alina [70]

Answer:

3x^3+ 12x^2-15x

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you would have to distribute the 3x to everything in the parentheses. So you can write it out as (3x*x^2)+(3x*4x)+(3x*5). Solving this will give you the answer. We'll start off with (3x*x^2). Because we are MULTIPLYING, this part will equal to 3x^3. There is ONE x with 3x (think of it as 3x^1) and 2 x's in x^2, having a total of 3 x's, or x^3. Since the 3 is being multiplied as well, we can write it as 3x^3.

Second, we will solve (3x*4x). We are multiplying, so first we multiply 3*4 and then x*x. 3*4 is 12 and x*x is x^2. There are 2 x's being mutipled by each other, so the x becomes squared. Now we finish and multiply 12*x^2 wich is 12x^2.

Lastly, we solve (3x*5). 3x is being multiplied 5 times which gives us 15x.

I hope this helped :)

the height of a triangle is 4 meters less than the base. if the area of the triangle is 6 m^2 what is the height of the triangle

inna [77]

Answer:

$2m$

Step-by-step explanation:

Alrighty let's do this.

We know that formula for the Area of a triangle is:

$A = \frac{1}{2}bh$

They give us the area as $6m^2$ , so let's include it in the equation.

$6 = \frac{1}{2}bh$

Now we reach a stage where we have 2 unknown variables! That means we can't solve it in its current state. So the idea you should have in cases like these where you have 2 or more unknown variables is, "Can I represent this one variable in terms of another variable?" In this case you can do exactly that. You can represent height in terms of length of the base. We are told the height of the triangle is 4 meters less than the base. That is telling us that $h = b-4$

So replace $h$ in the equation with $b-4$ .

You will now get:

$6 = \frac{1}{2}b(b-4)$

Now we can work towards solving. Let's get simplifying.

$12 = b(b-4)\\12 = b^2 - 4b\\$

bring everything to one side so we can make a quadratic and factor:

$0 = b^2 - 4b - 12\\0 = (b-6)(b+2)\\\\b = 6\\b\neq -2$

We get that $b=6$ .

Since we need the height of the triangle we'll need to call back on what h is. We found earlier that $h = b - 4$ , so to find h, we just sub in our b value into that.
