Question

The area of a triangle whose height is 1 more than 6 times its base is 13 square feet. If the base of the triangle is x feet, which equation models this situation?

Answer 1

\(A=\frac{1}{2}bh\)
base = b = x
How would you write "1 more than 6 times \(x\)"

Answer 2

6^2 I assume by my answer choices

Answer 3

you don't have to assume. translate the words to symbols. "times" is self explanatory. What does "1 more than" mean? If you want 1 more than something, are you adding, subtracting, multiplying, or dividing?

Answer 4

adding

Answer 5

ok so what does "1 plus 6 times x" look like?

Answer 6

7x?

Answer 7

im confused badly im sorry
