Answer:

No they are not!

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for b:

3 (5 b - 2) = 0

Divide both sides of 3 (5 b - 2) = 0 by 3:

(3 (5 b - 2))/3 = 0/3

3/3 = 1:

5 b - 2 = 0/3

0/3 = 0:

5 b - 2 = 0

Add 2 to both sides:

5 b + (2 - 2) = 2

2 - 2 = 0:

5 b = 2

Divide both sides of 5 b = 2 by 5:

(5 b)/5 = 2/5

5/5 = 1:

Answer:  b = 2/5

____________________________________________

Solve for b:

8 b - 5 = 0

Add 5 to both sides:

8 b + (5 - 5) = 5

5 - 5 = 0:

8 b = 5

Divide both sides of 8 b = 5 by 8:

(8 b)/8 = 5/8

8/8 = 1:

Answer:  b = 5/8

No, if you multiply the factors in 3(5b-2) the equivalent expression would be 15b-6

Type the dimensions of a different shaped box that has the same volume
defon

Step-by-step explanation:

120ft³ = 3ft × 4ft × 10ft

120ft³ = 1ft × 1ft × 120ft

120ft³ = 2ft × 2ft × 30ft

120ft³ = 5ft × 3ft × 8ft

...

Taking fractions or mixed numbers as dimensions, you can give infinitely many such shapes with a volume of 120ft³.

The perimeter of a square is 52 meters. What is it area.
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

169 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

52/4=13 (since it's a square you divide it by 4 because the sides are equal, so each side is 13 meters)

13^2=169 (to find the area you square the length of each side)
