(7a+3)+(-a-5)=-16
Combine like terms:6a-2=-16
Add 2 to both sides: 6a=-14
Divide both sides by 6: a=-14/6
Simplify: a=-7/3

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

height=6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

-The volume of a rectangular prism is given by the formula:

$V=lwh$

#We make h the subject of the formula the solve for it:

$V=lwh\\\\\frac{V}{lw}=h\\\\\therefore h=\frac{V}{lw}$

#Substitute to solve for height:

$h=\frac{V}{lw}\\\\=\frac{72}{2\times 6}\\\\=6\ ft$

Hence, the prism has a height of 6 ft.

Answer:

4.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle is pi(radius 2) So, the radius is just half of the diameter. The radius of the baseball is 1.5 and 1.5 x 1.5 x 3.14(pi) is 7.065. Then for the softball, 3.8/2 is 1.9, and 1.9 x 1.9 x 3.14(pi) is 11.3354 then 11.3354-7.065 is 4.2704 and that rounded, is 4.3

If A is immediately below B, this means B is the 19th board counting from the top of the stack, and also there are 18 other boards that are above B. So the total number of board in the stack would be

Which statement is the correct interpretation of the inequality –5 > –6? (1 point)

lilavasa [31]

Answer: OPTION D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The symbol of the inequality ">" means "greater than". Then, -5 is greater than -6.

If a negative number -a is greater than other negative number -b , then the distance between -a and zero is shorter than the distance between -b and zero.

You can see in the number line attached that -5 is closer to 0 than -6. Therefore, -5 is located to the right of -6.
