Answer:

Option b is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given condition : Seven less than the quotient of a number, x, and twelve is five times the number.

Here, the number is x

The quotient of a number x and twelve is expressed as , $\frac{x}{12}$

Seven less than the quotient of a number, x, and twelve is expressed as, $\frac{x}{12}-7$

Five times the number mean, $5x$

Therefore, we have an equation in the form of <em>x</em> from the given condition as:

$\frac{x}{12}-7=5x$ .

hey can someone please help me i don’t understand this? the question says “find the surface area of the rectangular prism.”

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

170 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to find the area of each surface of the square

1) the square on the right side:

5x5=25 in^2

there are 2 of these on opposite sides

2)the of the rectangle facing us;

6x5=30in^2 (5 because 5 is the height)

there are 4 of these

3)add up all the areas

25+25+30+30+30+30=170in^2

9. x=22

10. x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

1. RS/WS=ST/SX and m<RST=m<WSX

2. AB/PQ=8/6=4/3

BC/QR=AC/PR=12/9=4/3

AB/PQ=BC/QR=AC/PR

3. ST/JP=10/15=2/3

SU/JM=14/21=2/3

ST/JP=2/3=SU/JM

and m<TSU=70°=m<PJM

4. DK/PR=8/4=2

JK/ZR=18/9=2

DK/PR=2=JK/ZR

and m<DKJ=65°=m<PRZ

5. RT/ST=UT/LT

and m<RTU=m<STL

6. KL/YW=20/18=10/9

JL/XW=36/24=3/2

KL/YW=10/9≠3/2=JL/XW

7. BF/NL=24/16=3/2

BE/NM=39/26=3/2

BF/NL=3/2=BE/NM

and m<EBF=m<MNL

8. GH/QR=32/20=8/5

HI/RS=40/25=8/5

GI/QS=24/15=8/5

GH/QR=HI/RS=GI/QS=8/5

9. x/33=18/27

Simplifying the fraction on the right side of the equation:

x/33=2/3

Solving for x: Multiplying both sides of the equation by 33:

33(x/33)=33(2/3)

x=11(2)

x=22

10. x/16=9/12

Simplifying the fraction on the right side of the equation:

x/16=3/4

Solving for x: Multiplying both sides of the equation by 16:

16(x/16)=16(3/4)

x=4(3)

x=12

over the past five weeks, the average daily temperature in Wellington has dropped 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Write and evaluate ab e

Westkost [7]

In five weeks, there are 35 days. So, the average drop in temperature per day is 40/35 = 8/7 degrees per week. Then in 1 week, 8/7 degrees per day * 7 days per week = 8 degrees per week.Therefore there are 8 degrees drop of temperature in 1 week.

Can anybody answer this? Please! I’ll mark you brainliest

labwork [276]

Problem 1: Plug in the given value into the function and evaluate.

$f(x)=|3x|\\f(2)=|3(2)|\\f(2)=|6|\\f(2)=6$

Problem 2: Solve the equation for y.

$-7x+2y=8$

add 7x to both sides to move it to the right side of the equation.

$2y=7x+8$

Divide both sides of the equation by 2 to get a single y variable on the left hand side.

$\frac{2y}{2} =\frac{7x}{2} +\frac{8}{2} \\y=\frac{7}{2}x+4$

Simplify the terms to get the the equation into slope-intercept form.

The slope of the line is $\frac{7}{2}$

I'm a unsure what Problem 3 is asking for sorry I hope the rest is helpful.
