Answer:

x=-7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First you distribute

1/5x + 1/4 = 1/2x + 2.5

Then you subtract 1/5x from both sides

1/4 = 0.3x + 2.5

Then you subtract 2.5 on both sides

-2.25=0.3x

You divide 0.3 on both sides to get x by itself

-7.5=x

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: Take note , absolute value will give the magnitude of the value. (Which means ignoring the + / - signs.)

Eg. | - 19 | = 19

Therefore,

$\frac{12(30 - (9 + {4}^{2})) }{10 - | - 6| } \\ = \frac{12(30 - (9 + 16))}{10 - 6} \\ = \frac{12(30 - 25)}{4} \\ = \frac{12(5)}{4} \\ = \frac{60}{4} \\ = 15$

The cross section (slice) would be a rectangle.

A rectangular prism is the shape of a box with 6 rectangular sides. If you slice down perpendicular to the base, you would still have another rectangle.
