Answer:

No, it’s not possible according to calculations

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, the area of a rectangular prism is;

2(wl + wh + lh)

Where w is the width, l is the length and h is the height;

Making the substitutions with values in the question

Surface area = 2(6x + 3x + 3(6))

Surface Area = 2(9x + 18) = 18x + 36 square inches

Volume of rectangular prism = l * w * h

Making substitutions;

V = x * 6 * 3 = 18x cubic inches

So therefore to get the value of x, we equate the surface area to the volume;

18x = 18x + 36

We can see that 18x will cancel out and will render our equation invalid

Answer:

1. 180

2. x = 31

Step-by-step explanation:

1. the sum of the interior angles of every triangle is always 180

2. using what we know from problem 1, we can create an equation:

x + 10 + 2x - 5 + 2x + 20 = 180

add like terms: 5x + 25 = 180

subtract 25 from both sides: 5x = 155

divide both sides by 5: x = 31

The chart below describes the speed of four runners. Which runner is the fastest?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Runner B

Step-by-step explanation:

speed = distance ÷ time

Runner A: 1 ÷ 8 = 0.125m/ms

Runner B: 2 ÷ 10 = 0.2m/ms

Runner C: 3 ÷ 20 = 0.15m/ms

Runner D: 5 ÷ 30 = 0.17m/ms

Runner B has the highest speed so he is the fastest runner.

Please solve this the question is in the picture
Dominik [7]

Answer:

x : -3

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 15x-3(3x + 4) = 6 (distribute -3 to the numbers on the inside of parentheses)

2) 15x - 9x - 12 =6 (combine like terms 15x-9x = 6x)

3) -6x - 12 = 6 (add twelve to both sides, add the 12 to cancel out the 12)

4) -6x = 18 (divide the -6 on both sides)

5) x = -3
