2 answers:

5 0

Roots: 5 and -3
The factors are -5 and 3 because they add to -2 and multiply to -15.
X^2 -2x = 15
-15 -15
X^2 -2x -15 = 0
(X -5) (x +3)
X= 5 and -3

What is the surface area of this cube the dimensions are 5 cm 4 cm 5cm starting from lxwxh

Mashcka [7]

Given: A cuboid with the dimesion below:

$5\operatorname{cm}by4\operatorname{cm}by5\operatorname{cm}$

To Determine: The surface area of the cuboid

The formula for finding the surface area of a cuboid is given as:

$A_{\text{Cuboid Surface Area}}=2(l\times w+l\times h+w\times h)$

From the diagram, it can be seen that

$\begin{gathered} l=\text{length}=5\operatorname{cm} \\ w=\text{width}=4\operatorname{cm} \\ h=\text{height}=5\operatorname{cm} \end{gathered}$

Substitute the given into the formula as shown below:

$\begin{gathered} A_{\text{Cuboid Surface Area}}=2(l\times w+l\times h+w\times h) \\ A_{\text{Cuboid Surface Area}}=2(5cm\times4cm+5cm\times5cm+4cm\times5cm) \\ A_{\text{Cuboid Surface Area}}=2(20cm^2+25cm^2+20cm^2) \\ A_{\text{Cuboid Surface Area}}=2(65\operatorname{cm}^2) \\ A_{\text{Cuboid Surface Area}}=130\operatorname{cm}^2 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the surface area of the given cuboid is 130cm²

Jan uses 22.5 gallons of water in the shower. This amount is 7.5 gallons less than what she uses when washing her clothes. Write

arsen [322]

22.5 (shower) = X (variable used in place of the amount of water she uses to wash clothes) - 7.5 (the amount she used in the shower is 7.5 gallons less than she uses for washing clothes)

22.5 = X - 7.5 《 This is the equation.

Solve is by adding 7.5 to both sides to cancel out the negative 7.5 and you get (X = 30).
