Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What do we know about that prism?

It's a rectangular prism with a square base.

Height: y (from question)

base length: x (from question)

base width: x (from question, since it's a square base).

Total volume: 150 cu inches

The question lacks a relationship between x and y the "is __ times", but we can see from the answer choices that they all show a constant relationship:

y = 1.5 x  

The volume of a prism is obtained by  multiplying the lengths of its 3 dimensions: V = length * width * height.  In our case, we then have

150 = x * x *  y

then we replace y by its x-expressed equivalent:

150 = x * x * (1.5x) = 1.5x³

then we isolate x³ by dividing each side by 1.5

x³ = 100, we do the cubic root on each side

x = 4.64

So, answer is D. x = 4.6 and y = 6.9

If you you 4.64 * 4.64 * 6.96 = you get 149.8, which is very close to 150.

nevsk [136]

Let Lynette has originally candies in hand = x

She gave half to her son means x/2 given to son.

2 candies gave to daughter and left with 4.

x - x/2 - 2 = 4

adding 2 both sides

x - x/2 - 2 + 2 = 4 + 2

x - x/2 = 6

x /2 = 6

x = 12

Means she have 12 candies originally : Answer

Hope it will help :)

Answer:

-1.5m + 4n is the equivalent expression

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equivalent expression, we combine the like terms.

We are given the following expression:

m + 4n - 2.5m

Combining the like terms:

m - 2.5m + 4n

-1.5m + 4n is the equivalent expression
