a)
Check the picture below.
b)
volume wise, we know the smaller pyramid is 1/8 th of the whole pyramid, so the volume of the whole pyramid must be 8/8 th.
Now, if we take off 1/8 th of the volume of whole pyramid, what the whole pyramid is left with is 7/8 th of its total volume, and that 7/8 th is the truncated part, because the 1/8 we chopped off from it, is the volume of the tiny pyramid atop.
Now, what's the ratio of the tiny pyramid to the truncated bottom?

Answer: x = -5
Step-by-step explanation: you add -3 to the other side, which will look like x = 3 - 8
I haven't done this in a while, but I'm pretty sure the answer is D, (-3, -1.)
If you were to substitute x for -3 and y for -1 in the first inequalities and simplify, it would look like this:
-1 > -3-2
-1 > - 5
And that inequality is true, because -1 is bigger than -5. Let's also substitute in the other inequality, which would be:
-1 > 2(-3) + 2
-1 > -6 + 2
-1 > -4
And -1 is bigger than -4. So, I think the answer would be D because substituting for those values of x and y would stil. make the inequalities true.
Answer:
The simplified expression is : -9c +1
Step-by-step explanation:
The like terms are -8c and -c
The constant term is 1
The simplified expression is :
-8c + -c + 1 = -9c +1
