There is no work to show. It is really just trial and error till you get the hang of it. You look at the multiples of the last term and find.which add or subtract to the middle terms coefficient. Use DeCartes law of signs to determine if it is plus or minus.

Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
10-3x+8x=25
-10            -10
-3x+8x=    15
5x=15
5x/5=15/5
x=3
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
90 sq inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The lateral area is the side area of the pyramid. In this case, there are 3 sides because the base is a triangle.  Since the base is an equilateral triangle, all sides are of equal dimensions.  So, the sides of the pyramid are also all of the same size, area.
We then just have to figure out the area of one of the side triangles, then multiply it by 3 to get the total lateral area of that pyramid.
We know how to calculate the area of a triangle: A = (b * h)/2
In this case, b = 5 in, h = 12 in. So,
TA = (5 * 12)/2 = 60 / 2 = 30
Each side triangle has an area of 30 sq inches.
LA = 3 * TA (since there are 3 sides)
LA = 3 * 30 = 90 sq inches
 
        
             
        
        
        
It would be 9/8, 6/5, 1 1/4, 14/1
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
9(5x)=45x
9(2)=18
4(8)=32
4(-x)=-4x
45x-4x=41x
32+18=50
41x+50
