Answer:

Bella made an error in step 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:

-3x-30=5x+18

Rearranging the like terms, we get

⇒-3x-5x=18+30

⇒-8x=48

⇒x=-6

Thus, the correct value of x is -6.

Now, Bella made a mistake in her solution as:

-3x-30=5x+18

⇒−3x − 30 − 3x = 5x + 18 − 3x  (she should add 3x on both sides rather than subtracting)

⇒− 30 = 2x + 18

⇒−30 − 18 = 2x + 18 −18

⇒− 48= 2x

⇒x=-24

For the second,
In the first step, instead of adding 3x for both sides, they subtract 3x instead.

The surface area of this regular pyramid is 1040 cm2. The base is a regular pentagon with side b = 16 cm and slant height l =15
Valentin [98]

Answer:

(a) = 11 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the surface area of a regular pyramid is B + (1/2*P*l), with B being the area of the base, p being the perimeter of the base, and l being the slant of the pyramid.

The area of a pentagon can be solved using the formula 1/2*a*p, with a being the apothem and p being the perimeter of the pentagon.

  1. B + (1/2*80*15) = 1040
  2. B + 600 = 1040
  3. 1040 - 600 = 440 (440 is the area of pentagon)
  4. 1/2*a*(16*5) = 440
  5. 40*a = 440
  6. 440/40 = 11

The apothem is 11 cm. Hope this helps!

1) What is the slope of x+y=4?
Lerok [7]
1) y=-x+4, the slope is -1
2)y=-x+4, slope is -1
3) yes
4)It's the same line if the slopes and y-intercepts are the same, so the number of corresponding points are infinite.
