Each eraser will cost u 50 cents
so 7 erasers will cost (7 * 0.50) = 3.50 <==
To figure out this problem, you need to find the surface area of a triangular prism.
a=5ft
b=5ft
c=6ft
h=8ft
A= (a*h) + (b*h) + (c*h) + 1/2√-a⁴ + 2(a*b)² + 2(a*c) - b⁴ + 2(b*c) - c⁴
=152 square feet
You have to get rid of 1/2 by multiplying it by its recriprocal which is like this:
1) 1/2 x 2/1 which equals to zero and you do the same to the other side.
2) -12 x 2/1 = -24x then multiply-24x with 7 which equals -168.
16-x= -24x -168
3) subtract 16 to the other side and subtract 24x with x
23x= -184
4) divide by 23 to isolate x and you get -8
5) x=-8
