Answer:
193 in
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of a triangular prism:
The volume of a triangular prism is the base area multiplied by the wedge, that is:

The base area is one half times the triangle base times it's height, so:

The wedge of cheese is 7 inches tall.
This means that 
The base of the cheese is shaped like a triangle with a base of 11 and a height of 5 inches.
This means that 
Volume:

Rounding, approximately 193 in.
In distributive property, the answer would be 12(5 + 4j).
Well, since you have the value of b, the first thing you want to do is substitute that value in for b.
5a - 10(3) = 45
10*3 = 30
5a - 30 = 45
Now, to get the variable by itself (a) you have to + 30 because you have to reverse the subtraction.
5a = 75
Now, you divide by 5 to finish getting a by itself.
a = 15
Hope this helps!
