Exact Answer: x = 16/3
Approximate Answer: x = 5.333
=======================================================
Work Shown:
base = 3x-1
height = x
area of triangle = (base*height)/2
40 = x*(3x-1)/2
40*2 = 3x^2 - x
80 = 3x^2 - x
0 = 3x^2 - x - 80
3x^2 - x - 80 = 0
Now apply the quadratic formula
[tex]x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\x = \frac{-(-1)\pm\sqrt{(-1)^2-4(3)(-80)}}{2(3)}\\\\x = \frac{1\pm\sqrt{961}}{6}\\\\x = \frac{1\pm31}{6}\\\\x = \frac{1+31}{6} \ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{1-31}{6}\\\\x = \frac{32}{6} \ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{-30}{6}\\\\x = \frac{16}{3} \ \text{ or } \ x = -5\\\\x \approx 5.333 \ \text{ or } \ x = -5\\\\[/tex]
A negative height doesn't make sense, so we ignore x = -5
The only solution is x = 16/3 which approximates to x = 5.333

You flip a coin 50 times and get 26 tails. What is the experimental probability of flipping heads? Write your answer as a simplified fraction or a percentage.
Answers
Answer:
12/25
Step-by-step explanation:
If you got 26 tails, that means you got 50 - 26 or 24 heads. The experimental probability can be represented by the desirable flips over the total number of flips. We are looking for heads, so the amount of heads is the amount of desirable flips, and the total is 50. From this, we get the fraction 24/50 which simplifies to 12/25.

the length of a rectangle is twice its width if the perimeter of the rectangle is 72 inches, find its area.
Answers
length = 2 x width
permiter = length x width x 2
perimeter = 72
72 ÷ 2 = 36
36 = 1 length and 1 width
(2 x width) + width = 36
width = x
2x + x = 36
3x = 36
x = 12
width = 12
length = 2 x width = 2 x 12 = 24
so
width = 12
length = 24

A wise man once said, "500 reduced by 4 times my age is 188." What is his age?
Answers
Answer:
125
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
He Is 78 Years Old.
Step-by-step explanation:
a = age
Solve for a in 500 - 4a = 188.
Simplify 500−4a=188.
500−4a=188
500+−4a=188
−4a+500=188
Subtract 500 from both sides.
−4a+500−500=188−500
-4a = -312
Divide both sides by -4.
[tex]\frac{-4a}{-4} =\frac{-312}{-4}[/tex]
a = 78
Answer:
He Is 78 Years Old.
