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

Tony’s backpack can carry weight up to 22 but not more that that
If the variable n represents the total weight carried by tony
Then ; n less than or equal to (n=1+3+3b
=4+3b
Where b represents book
4+3b is less or equal to 22
3b is less or equal to 18
b is less or equal to 6

Therefore Tony’s backpack cannot carry more than 6 books

The slant height is used to find the volume of a square pyramid. true or false
alexandr1967 [171]
The answer is false.

For a square pyramid, the volume is calculated by 1/3*B*h. The height should touch the tip and lie perpendicular to the base. Slant height is used for surface area, not volume.
