Answer:

First step is "Solve the parenthesis". It means subtract 1.5x from 4x.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

5(4x-1.5x)+12=4x-2

We need to find the first step o solve this equation.

Step 1: Solve the parenthesis.

5(2.5x)+12=4x-2

Step 2: Multiply.

12.5x+12=4x-2

Step 3: Isolate variable terms on left side.

12.5x-4x=-12-2

8.5x=-14

Step 4. Divide both sides by 8.5.

x=\dfrac{-14}{8.5}

x\approx -1.647

Therefore, the firs step is "Solve the parenthesis".

A flower box is 3 ft. Long, 2 3/4 ft. Wide, and 1/2 ft. Deep. How many cubic feet of dirt can it hold? A. 4 1/8 B. 5 3/4 C. 6 1/
pochemuha

Answer:

The box can hold 4 1/8 cubic feet of dirt

Step-by-step explanation:

What we simply have to find here is the volume of dirt it can take

To get this, we have to multiply the dimensions of the box

We have this as follows

Volume or box = length * width * height

Volume of box = 2 3/4 * 1/2 * 3

Volume of box = 11/4 * 3 * 1/2 = 33/8 = 4 1/8 cubic feet

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

49.8 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

the picture in the attached figure

given:

a=3,  b=1   c=1.8

To know the surface area:

surface area of the figure=surface area of cube+surface area of triangular prism

first lets find out the area of cube and triangular prism.

surface area of cube=4*a²

surface area of cube= 4*3² => 36  ft²

surface area of triangular prism=2*[a*c]+2*[a*b/2]  = 2*[3*1.8]+[3*1]

surface area of triangular prism=10.8 +3  = >  13.8 ft²

Therefore,  surface area of the figure=36 ft²+13.8  ft²

surface area of the figure= 49.8 ft²

the answer is:

49.8 ft²
