y = (-1/2)x -5

Because the slope is -1/2

Then, plug in 4 as x, (-1/2)4 = -2

To make it -7, just subtract 5.

A rectangular solid and a cube are of equal volume. If the rectangular solid is 20 centimeters long, 5 centimeters wide, and 10

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

10 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to remember what's the formula to get the volume of a rectangular solid and a cube.

The volume of the first equals:

Volume = Length x Width x Height

While the volume of the cube is:

$Volume = a^{3}$ where a is the edge.

We are given the measures of the rectangular solid so we can calculate its volume:

$Volume= (20)(5)(10)=1000$ cubic cms.

Now, we know that both the volume of the rectangular solid and the cube are the same so we will use this information to calculate the edge of the cube.

$1000=a^3 \\\sqrt[3]{1000} =\sqrt[3]{a^3} \\10=a$

Thus the length of an edge of the cube is 10 centimeters

A company buys pens at the rate of $7.50 per box for the first 10 boxes, $5.50 per box for the next 10 boxes, and $4.50 per box

photoshop1234 [79]

So it is really easy to solve firstly we can see how much does the first 10 boxes make which makes around 75$ obviously. Secondly 55$ for the next 10 boxes.

So for now we can simply calculate that we have spent around 130$ which means 20 boxes. The remaining money left is 18$ so we can buy 18/4.5 = 4 only 4 boxes with that money. Hence a total of 24 boxes.
