Half a number decreased by three is equal to 38 less than four times the number

10

Step-by-step explanation:

let the unknown number be x

so half of x decreased by 3 is

1/2x -3

It is equal to 38 less than 4 times the number which is x; 4x-37

THEREFORE;

½x-3 =4x -38

x-6/2 = 4x-38

cross-multiply

x-6 =8x -76

x-8x = -76+6

-7x = -70

Divide both sides by -7

So x =10

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.

what is the question? i am guessing you are looking for the area.

to find an area, you have to do length x width.

in this case, it would be 12 ft x 4 ft = 48 sq. ft
