Neither of those work for that equation
-1/4 + f/8 = 1/2.
The LCD is 8. Rewrite this equation as -8/4 + 8f/8 = 8(1/2) and then reduce the result:
-2 + f = =4
Then f = 6.
You should check this result.
The lateral area is expressed as the product of the perimeter of the base and the height. While the surface area is the sum of all areas. The lateral area and the surface area of the box is calculated as follows:
LA = Ph
P = 2l + 2w = (2 x 17) + (2 x 5) = 44 cm
LA = 44 cm x 3.12 cm = 137.28 cm
SA = 2(lw + wh + lh)
SA = 2[(17x5) + (5x3.12) + (17x3.12)]
SA = 307.28 cm
Thus, the lateral area and the surface area are 137 cm and 307 cm, respectively.
-5|x + 1| = 10
-5 -5
|x + 1| = -2
