3(x + 2) + 4(x - 5) = 10

Use the distributive property:

3x + 6 + 4x - 20 = 10

Combine like terms:

7x -14 = 10

Add 14 to both sides:

7x = 24

Divide both sides by 7:

x = 24/7

5. GEOMETRY The volume of a rectangular pyramid is one third the product of the area of its base and its height. Find

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

x³ + 7x² + 15x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the volume (V) of a rectangular pyramid is

V = $\frac{1}{3}$ A h ( A is the area of base and h the height ), then

V = $\frac{1}{3}$ (3x² + 12x + 9)(x + 3) ← factor out 3 from A

= $\frac{1}{3}$ × 3(x² + 4x + 3)(x + 3)

= (x² + 4x + 3)(x + 3)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

x² (x + 3) + 4x(x + 3) + 3(x + 3) ← distribute parenthesis

= x³ + 3x² + 4x² + 12x + 3x + 9 ← collect like terms

= x³ + 7x² + 15x + 9

Thus the expression for the volume is

V = x³ + 7x² + 15x + 9

the store paid for the clarinet =

$123.25 ÷ (100+30)%

= $123.25 ÷ 1.3 = $ 94.81
