Answer:

x = -1.42

Step-by-step explanation:

The quotient of a number x and twelve would be: x/12.

But the problem tells us that seven less than this quotient is 5 times the number. Written as an equation and solving for x this would be:

\frac{x}{12}-7=5x\\\frac{x-84}{12} =5x\\ x-84=(12)(5x)\\x-84=60x\\-84=59x\\-84/59=x\\-1.42 = x

Therefore x = -1.42

A right triangle has legs measuring 4.5 meters and 1.5 meters. The lengths of the legs of a second triangle are proportional to
Eduardwww [97]
Any multiples of 4.5:1.5 would work because being proportional just depends on whether you can reduce to get the same answer of the first triangle. You could do anything like 9m and 3m or 27m and 9m

9. Find the volume of the triangular pyramid. (2pts)-10 mI9 m16 m
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

240 m³

Explanation:

The volume of a pyramid is equal to:

V=\frac{1}{3}\times B\times H

Where B is the area of the base and H is the height of the pyramid.

Then, the base of the pyramid is a triangle, so the area of a triangle is equal to:

B=\frac{b\times h}{2}

Where b is the base of the triangle and h is the height of the triangle. So, replacing b by 16 m and h by 9 m, we get:

B=\frac{16\times9}{2}=\frac{144}{2}=72m^2

Finally, replacing B by 72 m² and H by 10 m, we get that the volume of the pyramid is equal to:

V=\frac{1}{3}\times72\times10=\frac{1}{3}\times720=240m^3

Therefore, the volume is 240 m³

SOLVE FOR f(-2) MATH HELP PLS
tankabanditka [31]

Answer: 9

Step-by-step explanation: Basically what f(-2) means is -2 = x. So you put in -2 wherever x appears. This would turn the equation to -3(-2) + 3 which goes to 6+3.
