Let us assume the gas bill of Paul in February = x dollars
Then
Electric bill of Paul for the month of February = (x/2) + 3
Amount of Electricity bill of Paul for the month of February = $92
then we can write the equation as
(x/2) + 3 = 92
x/2 = 92 - 3
x/2 = 89
x = 89 * 2
= 178 dollars
So the gas bill of Paul in February is $178. I hope this is the answer you were looking for.

What is the surface area of a square pyramid with a slant height of 6cm and the length of one side of the square base is 5cm

erica [24]

Answer:

S = 85cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a square pyramid is given by the following formula:

$S=2hb+b^2$

where it has taken into account the sum of the area of a square and four triangles:

$4(\frac{hb}{2})+b*b=2bh+b^2$

h: slant height = 6cm

b: base = 5cm

By replacing in the formula you obtain:

$S=2(5cm)(6cm)+(5cm)^2=85cm^2$

hence, the surface area is 85cm^2

Plz help me with this math and also explain

jasenka [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>[1]</h2>

SI = $250
Rate (R) = 12 $\sf \dfrac{1}{2}$ %
Time (t) = 4 years

$\longrightarrow \tt { SI = \dfrac{PRT}{100} } \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt { 250 = \dfrac{P \times 12\cfrac{1}{2} \times 4}{100} } \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt { 250 = \dfrac{P \times \cfrac{25}{2} \times 4}{100} } \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt { 250 = \dfrac{P \times 25 \times 2}{100} } \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt { 250 = \dfrac{P \times 50}{100} } \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt { 250 \times 100 = P \times 50} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt { 25000 = P \times 50} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt { \dfrac{25000}{50} = P } \\$

$\longrightarrow \underline{\boxed{ \green{ \tt { \$ \; 500 = P }}}} \\$

Therefore principal is $500.

2/7 of the balls are red.
3/5 of the balls are blue.
Rest are yellow.
Number of yellow balls = 36

Let the total number of balls be x.

→ Red balls + Blue balls + Yellow balls = Total number of balls

$\longrightarrow \tt{ \dfrac{2}{7}x + \dfrac{3}{5}x + 36 = x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ \dfrac{10x + 21x + 1260}{35} = x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ \dfrac{31x + 1260}{35} = x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ 31x + 1260= 35x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ 1260= 35x-31x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ 1260= 4x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ \dfrac{1260 }{4}= x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \underline{\boxed{ \tt { 315 = x }}} \\$

Total number of balls is 315.

A/Q,

3/5 of the balls are blue.

$\longrightarrow \tt{ Balls_{(Blue)} =\dfrac{3 }{5}x} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ Balls_{(Blue)} =\dfrac{3 }{5}(315)} \\$

$\longrightarrow \tt{ Balls_{(Blue)} = 3(63)} \\$

$\longrightarrow \underline{\boxed{ \green {\tt { Balls_{(Blue)} = 189 }}}} \\$
