Solve for x:
5 - sqrt(x) + sqrt(3 x - 11) = 6

Subtract 5 from both sides:
sqrt(3 x - 11) - sqrt(x) = 1

(sqrt(3 x - 11) - sqrt(x))^2 = -11 + 4 x - 2 sqrt(x) sqrt(3 x - 11) = -11 + 4 x - 2 sqrt(x (3 x - 11)) = 1:
-11 + 4 x - 2 sqrt(x (3 x - 11)) = 1

Subtract 4 x - 11 from both sides:
-2 sqrt(x (3 x - 11)) = 12 - 4 x

Raise both sides to the power of two:
4 x (3 x - 11) = (12 - 4 x)^2

Expand out terms of the left hand side:
12 x^2 - 44 x = (12 - 4 x)^2

Expand out terms of the right hand side:
12 x^2 - 44 x = 16 x^2 - 96 x + 144

Subtract 16 x^2 - 96 x + 144 from both sides:
-4 x^2 + 52 x - 144 = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with three terms:
-4 (x - 9) (x - 4) = 0

Divide both sides by -4:
(x - 9) (x - 4) = 0

Split into two equations:
x - 9 = 0 or x - 4 = 0

Add 9 to both sides:
x = 9 or x - 4 = 0

Add 4 to both sides:
x = 9 or x = 4

5 - sqrt(x) + sqrt(3 x - 11) ⇒ 5 - sqrt(4) + sqrt(3×4 - 11) = 4:
So this solution is incorrect

5 - sqrt(x) + sqrt(3 x - 11) ⇒ 5 - sqrt(9) + sqrt(3×9 - 11) = 6:
So this solution is correct

The solution is:
Answer:  x = 9

Find the surface area of the prism 4cm 5cm 12cm 13cm
inysia [295]
The answer would depend on where the numbers you gave us are on the pyramid. but here is the formula  to find the surface area of a prism; 
surface area= base x height + 2 x length x side + length x base
i will do the equation for you if you specify which numbers are the base, length, side, and height. or if you attach a photo.

How do you use protractors, its been printed on the paper, this is gonna be a little confusing for me sorry if I give this app a
Luda [366]

Answer:

  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

A protractor is usually a transparent measuring device laid intended to be laid over an angle to be measured. The centerpoint of the protractor's scale is made to coincide with the angle's vertex, and the baseline of the protractor is aligned with one of the angle's rays. The appropriate scale is used to read the angle where the other ray crosses the scale. You usually have to visually determine if the angle is acute or obtuse, so you can choose the correct scale to read.

__

If you're drawing an angle, first draw one ray and locate the vertex on it. Then do the steps above as you would for measurement. Make a mark on your paper corresponding to the desired angle measure, and connect the vertex to that mark to create the other ray of the angle.

__

If you're working with a printed protractor, you may need to do your work on a piece of translucent paper or transparency material, so you can see the protractor scale through the page you're drawing on.

_____

<em>Comment on a printed protractor</em>

A protractor will only give accurate measurements if its geometry is perfect. Some printers will scale a figure differently in horizontal and vertical directions, so will make the protractor scale be elliptical instead of circular. That will give wrong readings.

in the figures below the cube shaped box is 6 inches wide and the rectangular box is 10 inches long 4 inches wide and 4 inches h
IRINA_888 [86]
<span>The cube’s sides measures 6 inches and the measurement for the rectangular box is that it is 10 inches long, 4 inches thick and 4 inches high. To compute for the volume of a cube you must use the formula of V = a3 and for the rectangular prism is V = l x w x h.</span>
<span>Cube:    V = 6^3
</span>              <span>V = 216 inches^3</span>
<span>Rectangular Prism:       V = 10 x 4 x 4</span> <span>             
                                       V = 160 inches^3</span>
To identify how much greater the volume the cube from the rectangular box we subtract their volumes.
N = C – R where N stands for the unknown C for the volume of cube and R for the volume of Rectangular Box <span>
N = 216 inches^3 – 160 inches^3
</span> <span>N = 56 inches^3</span> <span>
So the cube is 56 inches3 greater than the rectangular box.</span>
