Answer:

<em><u>x = -0.5</u></em><em> </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>You need to combine like terms</em>

x * 2 + 5x = -6

<em>Add x to 5x</em>

6x * 2 = -6

<em>Divide 2 from both sides</em>

6x = -3

<em>Divide 6 from both sides to get x alone</em>

x = -0.5

<em>Hope this helps</em>

Answer:

S = {-2, -3}

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 5x = -6 is the start of a quadratic equation

to solve: bring -6 to the left side by adding 6, so the right side is equal to 0

x² + 5x + 6 = 0

there are multiple ways to solve this equation, two common ways you could use to solve is the quadratic formula or factoring. in this equation, factoring works and is a much shorter process than using the quadratic formula.

to factor is to basically break down the equation. so to break down the equation, we need to find what 2 numbers multiplied together equal 6, and what numbers added together equal 5? both numbers have to be the same numbers added together and multiplied. as in, you cant use 4 + 1 to make 5 and 2 times 3 to make 6.

the answer to this is 2 and 3, as 2 + 3 = 5 and 2 x 3 = 6.

so the equation replaced by factoring would be (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0.

where do the x's come from?: they come from x², one <em>x</em> for each factor.

to check if this factoring job works, you can use the FOIL method to check, which multiples the First two terms, the two Outside terms, the two Inside terms, and the Last two terms of each factor.

moving on to the next step in finding the final answer, you would set (x + 2) and (x + 3) equal to 0 and solve for x

x + 2 = 0 <-- subtract 2 from both sides to get x alone

x = -2

x + 3 = 0 <-- subtract 3 from both sides to get x alone

x = -3

so the solution to this equation would be {-2,-3}

solniwko [45]

Answer:

The total surface area of all 6 prisms is 6336 in^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the surface area of ONE prism and then multiply that result by 6 to obtain the final answer.

One prism:

The area of the two 13 in by 26 in rectangular tabs is 2(13 in)(26 in), or 676 in^2 (subtotal);

The area of the two triangles of base 10 in and height 12 in is 2([1/2][10 in][12 in], or 120 in^2; and, finally,

The area of the 10 in by 26 in base is 260 in^2.

The total surface area of ONE prism is thus:

676 in^2 + 120 in^2 + 260 in^2, or 1056 in^2.

Now, because there are 6 of these prisms, multiply this last result by 6:

6(1056 in^2) = 6336 in^2.

The total surface area of all 6 prisms is 6336 in^2.
