-1/5(x-4)=-2
(Distribute -1/5)
-1/5x + 4/5 = -2
(-4/5 from both sides)
-1/5x = -2 4/5
(Divide both sides by -1/5)
x = 14

Answer:

the value of x is, 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property says that:

a \cdot (b+c) = a\cdot b+ a\cdot c

Given the equation:

\frac{-1}{5}(x-4) = -2

Multiply both sides by 5 we have;

-1(x-4) = -10

Apply the distributive property:

-x + 4 = -10

Subtract 4 from both sides we have;

-x = -14

Multiply both sides by -1 we have;

x = 14

Therefore, the value of x is, 14

Suppose the height of the pyramid is 20 yards. What is the pyramid's volume?
DedPeter [7]

Answer : The correct option is, (B) 1500 cubic yards.

Step-by-step explanation :

Formula used to calculate the volume of square pyramid is:

V=\frac{a^2\times h}{3}

where,

V = volume of pyramid

a = base edge of pyramid

h = height of pyramid

Given:

Base edge of pyramid = 15 yards

Height of pyramid = 20 yards

Now putting all the given values in the above formula, we get:

V=\frac{a^2\times h}{3}

V=\frac{(15\text{ yrads})^2\times (20\text{ yards})}{3}

V=1500\text{ yards}^3

Therefore, the volume of pyramid is 1500 cubic yards.

What is the x please answer me quick ​
nordsb [41]
First u do a squared +b squared =c squared aka pythagorean theorem then so u already have c squared so you would do 5x5=25 and 13x13=169 so then the equation would be 25+?=169 then do 169-25 which equals 144 and then do the square root of that which is 12 THE ANSWER IS 12

Consider the numbers 4 and √5. Which operation(s) will result in an irrational number?
tekilochka [14]

Answer: D (both the sum and the product).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's add: 4 + sqrt5 will still seem irrational.

Let's multiply: 4*sqrt5 = 4sqrt5, which is irrational.
