Hey there!

$Answer:\boxed{x=-9}$

$Explanation:$

$2x+20=-3x-25$

$2x+20+3x=-3x-25+3x\\5x+20=-25$ Add 3x to both sides

$5x+20-20=-25-20\\5x=-45$ Subtract 20 to both sides

$\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{-45}{5}$ Divide both sides by 5

$x=-9$

Hope this helps!

A clothing truck is shaped like a rectangular prism. The volume of the truck 15 ft cubed. The area of the base of the container

Ghella [55]

Answer: 2.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectangular prism is given by the following formula:

$V=(l)(w)(h)$ (1)

Where:

$l$ is the length of the base

$w$ is the width of the base

$h$ is the height of the prism

On the other hand, tha area of a rectangle is:

$A=(l)(w)$ (2)

Then, we can rewrite (1) in terms of (2):

$V=(A)(h)$ (3)

Now, we know the value of the volume and the area of the base:

$V=15ft^{3}$

$A=6ft^{2}$

Substituting these values in (3):

$15ft^{3}=(6ft^{2})(h)$ (4)

Isolating $h$ :

$h=2.5 ft$ This is the height of the truck

Together, teammates Pedro and Ricky got 2673 base hits last season. Pedro had 277 more hits than Ricky. How many hits did each

ioda

Answer:

Pedro got 1520 base hits and Ricky got 1243.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of base hits that Pedro got.

y is the number of base hits that Ricky got.

Pedro and Ricky got 2673 base hits last season.

This means that $x + y = 2763$

Pedro had 277 more hits than Ricky.

This means that $x = y + 277$

Replacing in the first equation

$x + y = 2763$

$y + 277 + y = 2763$

$2y = 2486$

$y = \frac{2486}{2}$

$y = 1243$

$x = y + 277 = 1243 + 277 = 1520$

Pedro got 1520 base hits and Ricky got 1243.

Solve the following equation for x: 6(4x+ 1) = 3(x + 8) + 3.

salantis [7]

Answer:

x = -1/7 Or 0.143 (3 dec)

Step-by-step explanation:

6(4x + 5) = 3(x + 8) + 3

= 24x + 30 = 3x + 24 + 3

24x + 30 = 3x + 27

21x + 30 = 27

21x = -3

21x/21 = -3/21

x = -1/7

Or 0.143 (3 dec)
