Since it is an equality that means the left side of the equation (x/8) has to be equal to the right side of the equation (28/32). One way you can solve for x is to isolate it. Since it’s an equality like we said you have to do to the left side the same that you would do to the right side to isolate x. So if I multiply by 8 on the left I need to also multiply by 8 on the right. So 8* (x/8) becomes just x since 8x/8 becomes 8/8 * x which is 1 *x. On the right side we do 8 *(28/32) which becomes 28 * 8/32 which becomes 7. So x = 7.

Answer:  x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{x}{8} =\frac{28}{32}

We cross multiply, and we get:

32x = 8(28)

32x = 224

    x = 7

Answer:

x=-10, y=-20

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both 2x and 3x+10 equals y, they equal each other.

2x = 3x + 10

x = -10

Substitute -10 for x

2(-10) = y

y=-20

What is the volume of the triangular prism shown below?
liberstina [14]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume (V) of the triangular prism is calculated as

V = area of triangular face × length

Area of triangle = \frac{1}{2} bh ( b is the base and h the height )

Here b = 6 and h = 8, thus

Area = \frac{1}{2} × 6 × 8 = 3 × 8 = 24 units², thus

V = 24 × 20 = 480 units³ → B

The length of the triangle for the pool table is the twice the sum of 5 and a number. If the rack is
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

30 + 6x inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required number be x

If the length of the triangle for the pool table is the twice the sum of 5 and a number

L = 2(5+x)

L = 10+2x

Since the triangle is quadilateral, this means that all sides are equal

Perimeter = 3L

Perimeter = 3(10+2x)

Perimeter = 30+6x

Hence the perimeter, in inches, of the triangle is 30 + 6x inches
