$\huge\boxed{x=25}$

The mistake is in Step 1. The solver should have also squared $9$ when squaring the other side of the equation.

<h3>Correctly solving</h3>

$\begin{aligned}\sqrt{3x+6}&=9\\(\sqrt{3x+6})^2&=9^2\\3x+6&=81\\3x+6-6&=81-6\\3x&=75\\\frac{3x}{3}&=\frac{75}{3}\\x&=25\end{aligned}$

Answer:

x = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

The mistake here is the squaring. When you square one side, you have to do the same on the other side:

$\sqrt{3x+6}$ = 9

$(\sqrt{3x+6}) ^{2}$ = $9^{2}$

3x + 6 = 81

3x = 75

x = 25

the base is a 30-60-90 triangle with a hypotenuse of 10 m. the height of the prism is 15 m . find the volume to the nearest tent

krek1111 [17]

First we look for the area of the base of the prism:
A = (1/2) * (b) * (h)
Where,
b: base of the triangle
h: height of the triangle
For the base we have:
b = 10 * sine (30)
b = 5
For the height we have:
h = 10 * sine (60)
h = 8.7
Substituting we have:
A = (1/2) * (5) * (8.7)
A = 21.75
The prism volume will be:
V = A * H
Where,
H: prism height
V = (21.75) * (15)
V = 326.25
Round to the nearest tenth:
V = 326.3 m ^ 3
Answer:
the volume is:
V = 326.3 m ^ 3

Is it possible for something logical to not make sense

maw [93]

Yes it is, sometimes we have to look at it in a different perspective so It can make sense to us.
