Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first two steps are for the purpose of eliminating fractions. Doing so results in 4(2x - 5) = 9(x - 2), which is to be solved for x.

Perform the indicated multiplication, obtaining:

8x - 20 = 9x - 18.

Then combine like terms: -2 = x, or

x = -2.

To complete the formal check, substitute -2 for x in the first equation. This results in:

(1/3)(-4 - 5) = (3/4)(-2 -2), or

-3 = -3

... which is obviously true.

The formula of the area of the equilateral triangle:
$A_\Delta=\dfrac{a^2\sqrt3}{4}\\\\a=3\to A_\Delta=\dfrac{3^2\sqrt3}{4}=\dfrac{9\sqrt3}{4}$

The formula of the area of the rectangle:
$A=width\times length=wl\\\\w=3;\ l=6\\\\A=3\cdot6=18$

$T.A.=2A_\Delta+3A\\\\T.A.=2\cdot\dfrac{9\sqrt3}{4}+3\cdot18=\dfrac{9\sqrt3}{2}+54=(54+4.5\sqrt3)\ in^2$
The formula of the volume of the triangular prism:
$V=A_\Delta\cdot l\\\\V=\dfrac{9\sqrt3}{4}\cdot6=\dfrac{9\sqrt3}{2}\cdot3=\dfrac{27\sqrt3}{2}=13.5\sqrt3\ in^3$

Does the point (–3, 4) satisfy the equation y = –2x + 5? Yes Or No

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = -2x + 5

4 = -2(-3) + 5 - Substitute both x and y

4 = 6 + 5 - Simplify

4 ≠ 11

Hence, no, (-3, 4) doesn't statify the equation y = -2x + 5
