let "a number" = x

a number is divided by 3 => x/3

14 is added to the quotient => (x/3) + 14

The result is 33 => " = 33"

Solve for x

(x/3) + 14 = 33

Isolate the x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side you do the other.

Subtract 14 from both sides

(x/3) + 14 (-14) = 33 (-14)

x/3 = 19

Isolate the x. Multiply 3 to both sides

x/3(3) = 19(3)

x = 19(3)

x = 57

57 is your original number

hope this helps

Which expression is equivalent to -18a^-2b^5/-12a^-4b^-6

crimeas [40]

Answer:

c. 3a^2b^11/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable rule of exponents is ...

(a^b)/(a^c) = a^(b-c)

$\dfrac{-18a^{-2}b^5}{-12a^{-4}b^{-6}}=\dfrac{-18}{-12}a^{-2-(-4)}b^{5-(-6)}=\boxed{\dfrac{3a^2b^{11}}{2}}$

Find the volume of the cubes or rectangular prisms in cubic centimeters.

DanielleElmas [232]

a) Volume of Rectangular prism is $\frac{36}{125}\,\,cm^3$

b) Volume of cube is $\frac{8}{125}\,\,cm^3$

c) Volume of cube is $\frac{1}{125}\,\,cm^3$

d) Volume of Rectangular prism is $\frac{6}{125}\,\,cm^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a)

Volume of rectangular prism with

length= $\frac{3}{5}\,\,cm$

width= $\frac{4}{5}\,\,cm$

height = $\frac{3}{5}\,\,cm$

The formula used to find Volume of rectangular prism is:

$Volume\,\,of\,\,rectangular\,\,prism=length*width*height$

Putting values:

$Volume\,\,of\,\,rectangular\,\,prism=\frac{3}{5} *\frac{4}{5} *\frac{3}{5}\\Volume\,\,of\,\,rectangular\,\,prism=\frac{36}{125}\,\,cm^3$

So, Volume of Rectangular prism is $\frac{36}{125}\,\,cm^3$

Part b)

Volume of cube with side length of $\frac{2}{5}\,\,cm$

The formula used to find Volume of cube is:

$Volume\,\,of\,\,cube=length^3$

Putting value of length and finding volume:

$Volume\,\,of\,\,cube=length^3\\Volume\,\,of\,\,cube=(\frac{2}{5})^3\\ Volume\,\,of\,\,cube=\frac{8}{125}\,\,cm^3$

So, Volume of cube is $\frac{8}{125}\,\,cm^3$

Part c)

Volume of cube with side length of $\frac{1}{5}\,\,cm$

The formula used to find Volume of cube is:

$Volume\,\,of\,\,cube=length^3$

Putting value of length and finding volume:

$Volume\,\,of\,\,cube=length^3\\Volume\,\,of\,\,cube=(\frac{1}{5})^3\\ Volume\,\,of\,\,cube=\frac{1}{125}\,\,cm^3$

So, Volume of cube is $\frac{1}{125}\,\,cm^3$

Part d)

Volume of rectangular prism with

length= $\frac{1}{5}\,\,cm$

width= $\frac{2}{5}\,\,cm$

height = $\frac{3}{5}\,\,cm$

The formula used to find Volume of rectangular prism is:

$Volume\,\,of\,\,rectangular\,\,prism=length*width*height$

Putting values:

$Volume\,\,of\,\,rectangular\,\,prism=\frac{1}{5} *\frac{2}{5} *\frac{3}{5}\\Volume\,\,of\,\,rectangular\,\,prism=\frac{6}{125}\,\,cm^3$

So, Volume of Rectangular prism is $\frac{6}{125}\,\,cm^3$
