Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
2b+1=16−3b
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
2b+1=16−3b
2b+1=16+−3b
2b+1=−3b+16
Step 2: Add 3b to both sides.
2b+1+3b=−3b+16+3b
5b+1=16
Step 3: Subtract 1 from both sides.
5b+1−1=16−1
5b=15
Step 4: Divide both sides by 5.
5b/5=15/5
<em>answer: b=3</em>
Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the function f(x) = -(-x)
we want to evaluate f(-3)
What we do simply here is substitute the value of -3 for x in the equation
That would be ;
f(-3) = -(-(-3)) = -(3) = -3

Answer: Choice C) 124 square cm
------------------------------------------------------------------
Explanation:
Let's calculate the area of the trapezoid shown
b1 and b2 are the parallel bases; h is the height of the 2D trapezoid
b1 = 2
b2 = 5
h = 1.5
A = h*(b1+b2)/2
A = 1.5*(2+5)/2
A = 1.5*7/2
A = 10.5/2
A = 5.25
The area of one 2D trapezoid is 5.25 sq cm
There are two of these trapezoids that form the base faces of the trapezoidal prism. So the total base area is 2*5.25 = 10.5 sq cm
Keep this value (10.5) in mind. We'll use it later.
------------
Now onto the lateral surface area (LSA)
It turns out that the formula for the LSA is
LSA = p*d
where
p = perimeter of the trapezoid shown
d = depth or height of the 3D trapezoid (I'm not using h as it was used earlier)
This formula works for any polygonal base. It doesn't have to be a trapezoid.
In this case the perimeter is,
p = 1.7+2+2.65+5
p = 11.35
So
LSA = p*d
LSA = 11.35*10
LSA = 113.5
Add this LSA to the base area found earlier
10.5+113.5 = 124
The total surface area is 124 square cm
If points f and g are symmetric with respect to the line y=x, then the line connecting f and g is perpendicular to y=x, and f and g are equidistant from y=x.
This problem could be solved graphically by graphing y=x and (8,-1). With a ruler, measure the perpendicular distance from y=x of (8,-1), and then plot point g that distance from y=x in the opposite direction. Read the coordinates of point g from the graph.
Alternatively, calculate the distance from y=x of (8,-1). As before, this distance is perpendicular to y=x and is measured along the line y= -x + b, where b is the vertical intercept of this line. What is b? y = -x + b must be satisfied by (8,-1): -1 = -8 + b, or b = 7. Then the line thru (8,-1) perpendicular to y=x is y = -x + 7. Where does this line intersect y = x?
y = x = y = -x + 7, or 2x = 7, or x = 3.5. Since y=x, the point of intersection of y=x and y= -x + 7 is (3.5, 3.5).
Use the distance formula to determine the distance between (3.5, 3.5) and (8, -1). This produces the answer to this question.
