The answer is 2 and negative 9
7 times 0.45 divided by 5 and you get 0.63
a)
Check the picture below.
b)
volume wise, we know the smaller pyramid is 1/8 th of the whole pyramid, so the volume of the whole pyramid must be 8/8 th.
Now, if we take off 1/8 th of the volume of whole pyramid, what the whole pyramid is left with is 7/8 th of its total volume, and that 7/8 th is the truncated part, because the 1/8 we chopped off from it, is the volume of the tiny pyramid atop.
Now, what's the ratio of the tiny pyramid to the truncated bottom?

Opening brackets gives;
4-8v=-8v+4
Putting like terms together;
4-4=-8v+8v
0=0
There is no solution thus.
Answer:
a) x = -10
b) x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
a)
2(x + 3) = x - 4
2x + 6 = x - 4
2x - x = -4 - 6
x = -10
b)
4(5x - 2) = 2(9x + 3)
20x - 8 = 18x + 6
20x - 18x = 6 + 8
2x = 14
x = 7
