Ok so this question:
y + 1 = - ( x - 2 ) (distribute the negative inside the parenthesis)
y + 1 = -x + 2 (substitute the y= -1)
-1 + 1 = -x + 2
0 = -x + 2 (take two to the other side)
-2 = -x (divide the negative away from x)
2 = x
Volume of a square pyramid when the area of the base is known is area x height/3
Volume = 48 x 8/3 = 128 cubic cm.
x^2*(-3x)=-3x^3. The power of x becomes 3 because you add the powers of x. (2+1=3)
we have that
*-------------------------*--------------------------------*
E F G
EF=2x-12
FG= 3x-15
EG=23
we know that
EF + FG = EG
so
[2x - 12] + [3x - 15] = 23 simplify
5x - 27 = 23 add 27 to both sides
5x = 50 divide both sides by 5
x = 10
EF=2x-12-------> EF=2*10-12-------> EF=8
FG= 3x-15------> FG=3*10-15------> FG=15
therefore
the answer part a) is
the value of x is 10
the answer part b) is
the value of EF is 8
the answer part c) is
the value of FG is 15
8 printers for $145 each is a total of $1160.
3 laptops for $439 is a total of $1317.
Therefore, the price of 3 laptops for $439 each cost more than 8 printers for $145 each.
