Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Set the equations equal to each other and solve for x

8x+11 = 12x-1

11=4x-1

12=4x

x=3

<h3>Answer: x = 3</h3>

============================================

Explanation:

T is the midpoint of SU, so point T cuts segment SU into two equal halves. Those two halves being ST and TU, therefore, ST = TU

ST = TU

8x+11 = 12x-1 ... substitution

8x+11-8x = 12x-1-8x ... subtract 8x from both sides

11 = 4x-1

11+1 = 4x-1+1 .... add 1 to both sides

12 = 4x

4x = 12

4x/4 = 12/4 .... divide both sides by 4

x = 3

As a check, plug x = 3 into each equation below

ST = 8x+11 = 8*3+11 = 24+11 = 35

TU = 12x-1 = 12*3-1 = 36-1 = 35

Each piece ST and TU is 35 units long. So this confirms we have the right answer.

Find the lateral area for the prism. L.A. =<br> Find the total area for the prism. T.A. =

Ksivusya [100]

The lateral area of the prism is given by:
LA=[area of the two triangles]+[area of the lateral rectangles]
hypotenuse of the triangle will be given by Pythagorean:
c^2=a^2+b^2
c^2=6^2+4^2
c^2=52
c=sqrt52
c=7.211'
thus the lateral area will be:
L.A=2[1/2*4*6]+[6*8]+[8*7.211]
L.A=24+48+57.69
L.A=129.69 in^2

The total are will be given by:
T.A=L.A+base area
base area=length*width
=4*8
=32 in^2
thus;
T.A=32+129.69
T.A=161.69 in^2

Choose the correct simplification of the expression a to the 7th power times b to the 8th power all over a to the 4th power time

defon

First you need to write the numerical equation for the given:

$\frac{ a^{7} b^{8} }{ a^{4} b^{4} }$

When you will simplify this fraction, you can divide the expressions. Based on the law of exponents when you divide like terms with different exponents, you can subtract the exponents of the denominator from the numerator.

So if you will simplify the equation:

$\frac{ a^{7} b^{8} }{ a^{4} b^{4} }$

Subtract the following:

Exponents of a 7-4 and;
Exponents of b 8-4

Your answer should be
$a^{3} b^{4}$
