Answer:

$\large\boxed{\dfrac{11}{4}x+8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\left(-\dfrac{11}{4}x+3\right)-2\left(-\dfrac{11}{4}x-\dfrac{5}{2}\right)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\=-\dfrac{11}{4}x+3+(-2)\left(-\dfrac{11}{4}x\right)+(-2)\left(-\dfrac{5}{2}\right)\\\\=-\dfrac{11}{4}x+3+\dfrac{22}{4}x+5\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\=\left(-\dfrac{11}{4}x+\dfrac{22}{4}x\right)+(3+5)\\\\=\dfrac{11}{4}x+8$

What is the volume of the prism?

mezya [45]

Answer:

40 $\frac{5}{8}$ $cm^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is a rectangular prism, so the formula would be Volume = length x width x height.

length = 6 $\frac{1}{2}$ cm

width = 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ cm

height = 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ cm

If you plug everything you have in the problem into the volume equation, you would get : Volume = 6 $\frac{1}{2}$ cm x 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ cm x 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ cm.

Without a calculator, I would first turn the mixed numbers into improper fractions.
