$- 3x - 3(5) = 12$
$- 3x - 15 = 12$
$- 3x = 12 + 15$
$- 3x = 27$
$x = - 9$

Ok so first u distribute -3 to the (x+5).
which would get you -3x-15=12.
than you add 15 to both sides, so 12+15= 27.
so know we have -3x=27.
than you divide -3 to both side, so you get 27÷-3=-9, which makes x=-9

Find the volume of the garden shed

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

47.3 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

The garden shed is made up of a rectangular prism and a pyramid.

<h3><u>Volume of a rectangular prism</u></h3>

$\begin{aligned}\textsf{Volume of a rectangular prism}&=\sf width \times length \times height\\&=4 \times 4 \times 2\\&=16 \times 2\\&=32\;\; \sf m^3\end{aligned}$

<h3><u>Volume of a pyramid</u></h3>

<u />

From inspection of the given diagram, the slant height of the pyramid is 3.5 m.

Calculate the perpendicular height of the pyramid using Pythagoras Theorem:

$\begin{aligned}\implies a^2+b^2&=c^2\\2^2+h^2&=3.5^2\\h^2&=8.25\\h&=\sqrt{8.25}\;\; \sf m\end{aligned}$

Therefore:

$\begin{aligned}\textsf{Volume of a pyramid}&=\dfrac{\sf length \times width \times height}{3}\\\\&=\dfrac{\sf 4 \times 4 \times \sqrt{8.25}}{3}\\\\& = 15.31883372\;\; \sf m^3\end{aligned}$

<h3><u>Volume of the garden shed</u></h3>

$\begin{aligned}\implies \textsf{Volume of shed}&=\textsf{Volume of rectangular prism}+\textsf{Volume of pyramid}\\&=32+15.31883372\\& = 47.3\;\; \sf m^3\;(nearest\;tenth)\end{aligned}$

The product of two consecutive integers is equal to 14 more than 4 times the sum. This can be simplified to x²-7x-18=0. What are

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

-1 and -2, or 9 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the smaller integer:

x (x + 1) = 14 + 4 (x + x + 1)

x² + x = 14 + 4 (2x + 1)

x² + x = 14 + 8x + 4

x² − 7x − 18 = 0

Factor using AC method:

(x − 9) (x + 2) = 0

x = -2 or 9

x is the smaller integer, so the larger integers are -1 and 10. Check each pair of solutions.

-1 and -2:

(-2) (-1) = 14 + 4 (-2 + -1)

2 = 14 + 4 (-3)

2 = 2

9 and 10:

(9) (10) = 14 + 4 (9 + 10)

90 = 14 + 4 (19)

90 = 90

Both solutions work.

Sorry I don't have a calculator with me, but I set up the problem. Be sure to follows order of operations (please excuse my dear aunt Sally) and take the square root of your final answer to get x=
Hope this helps!
