The surface area S of a cube is equal to the sum of the areas of the 6 square faces that form the cube. We want to paint the cub

e and need to know how many square units of paint to purchase. If each face has side length s, then the formula S = 6s2 can be used to find the surface area of the cube. The length of a side is indicated in the cube below( s = x - 5). The surface area of the cube is 1944 units2. What is the value of x? SHOW and EXPLAIN each of the steps you used to solve.

Answer: x equals 23

Step-by-step explanation: The information available to us is as follows;

Surface area of the cube = 1944

Side length of the cube = x - 5

Note however that the surface area is also derived as S = 6s²

In order to calculate the value of s we would start by substituting for the known values as follows;

S = 6s²

1944 = 6[(x - 5)²

1944 = 6[(x² - 10x + 25)]

By cross multiplication we now have

1944/6 = (x² - 10x + 25)

324 = x² - 10x + 25

Collect like terms and we now have;

x² - 10x -299 = 0

By factorization we now have;

(x - 23) (x + 13) = 0

Therefore, x - 23 = 0 and hence x = 23

OR

x + 13 = 0 and hence x = -13

Knowing that the length of the side is not a negative number, we would choose x = 23.

**(Having been given that x = 23,

s = x - 5

s = 23 - 5

s = 18)**

Question 3(Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)
Lilit [14]

The equivalent expression is seven-fifths squared times one-third cubed. Then the correct option is D.

<h3>What is an equivalent expression?</h3>

The equivalent is the expression that is in different forms but is equal to the same value.

Five-sevenths squared times one-third raised to the power of negative three all raised to the power of negative one.

Convert the sentence into numerical form.

\rm \rightarrow \left [ \left (\dfrac{5}{7} \right )^2 \times \left ( \dfrac{1}{3}\right )^{-3} \right ] ^{-1}

Simplify the expression, then we have

\rm \rightarrow \left [ \left (\dfrac{7}{5} \right )^{2} \times \left ( \dfrac{1}{3}\right )^{3} \right ]

The equivalent expression is seven-fifths squared times one-third cubed. Then the correct option is D.

More about the equivalent link is given below.

Pepsi [2]

Step-by-step explanation:

first of all, your teacher wrote nonsense in the answer options : an area is always given in squared units. never in cubed units (which would be volume).

the area is : 1/2 × perimeter × apothem

the perimeter is simply 12 × 5 = 60 meters.

apothem = (a/2)×cot(pi/12) = 5/2 × cot(pi/12) =

= 9.330127019... meters

so the area is

1/2 × 60 × 9.330127019... = 279.9038106... m²

therefore, the third answer option is correct (although it is m², and not m³).

by the way, you have question 3 wrong. I answered this with the correct apothem calculation in the explanation for question 4.

How do you solve -5n-8(1+7n)=8
Reil [10]
-5n-8(1+7n)=8
Let's simplify everything. 
-5n-8-56n=8
Put the variables on one side and the numbers on the other. 
-5n-56n=8+8
Combine like terms.
-61n=16
n=-16/61

Hope I helped! :)

The hover dam contains 3 1/2 millon cubic yards of concrete.The grand coulee dam contains 2 1/2 times as much. How much concrete
Margarita [4]

grand coulee dam (g) contains 2.5 times as much concrete as the hover dam (h)

Therefore,

g = 2.5 * h

h = 3.5 million

g = 2.5 * 3.5

g = 8.75 million yards of concrete

George’s age is three times that of his brother. When you add George’s age to his brother’s, you get 24. How old is each brother
vivado [14]

Answer:

G=18

Step-by-step explanation:

George-G

1/3G+G=24

4/3G=24

3/4*4/3G=24*3/4

G=18

George will be 18 years old there we can find his brothers age by dividing it by three thus 18/3=6
