Let the 1st number be x; 2nd number be y; 3rd number be z.
x + y + z = 79
x = number we are looking for.
y = x * 5 ==> 5 times the first
z = x + 16 ==> 16 more than the first
Therefor,
x + (x * 5) + (x+16) = 79
1st step, multiply the 2nd number: x * 5 = 5x
x + 5x + x + 16 = 79
Add all like numbers:
7x + 16 = 79
To get x, transfer 16 to the other side and change its sign from positive to negative.
7x = 79 - 16
7x = 63
To get x, divide both sides by 7
7x/7 = 63/7
x = 9
To check. Substitute x by 9.
x + (x * 5) + (x+16) = 79
9 + (9 * 5) + (9 + 16) = 79
9 + 45 + 25 = 79
79 = 79 equal. value of x is correct.
122.5.
A=b x h/2. A=122.5 b=7
A x b=h
122.5 x 7 =122.5
The area of this trapezoid is 90 square feet.
<h3>Explanation : </h3>
Before we know the answer, let's we know the formula first. The formula for count the area of trapezoid is :
If :
- A = area of trapezoid
- a = bottom bases of trapezoid
- b = top bases of trapezoid
- h = height of trapezoid
Okay, let's we count its :
We know that :
- a = bottom bases of trapezoid = 18 feet
- b = top bases of trapezoid = 12 feet
- h = height of trapezoid = 6 feet
