Since y must equal both 3x+2 and x-4, we deduce that 3x+2 and x-4 must equal each other. So, we have
Answer:
a x a x a x a x a x a x a
Step-by-step explanation:
a^3 is three a's being multiplied by each other. a^4 is four a's being multiplied by each other
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
By the trapezoid midsegment theorem,
2x = (x-6) + (2x-8)
2x = x - 6 + 2x - 8
2x = 3x - 14
x = 14
So we know AD = 8, EF = 14, and BC = 20
Answer:
78% (to the nearest tenth)
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of a cube = (length )³
Let the length of the cube = y
Original volume = y³
if the length is decreased by 40%, then new length = 1- (40% of y)
= 1-0.4y
= 0.6%
New volume (after decreasing the length) = (0.6y)³
= 0.216y³
% Volume decrease = (Original volume - New volume)/Original Volume x 100%
= (y³ - 0.216y³)/ y³ x 100%
= 0.784y³/y³ x 100%
=78.4%
≈78%
