It’ll be D. -4.
Subtract the 2 from both sides
-5x=20

then divide -5 on both sides and you’ll get -4

Start by subtracting 2. You end up with -5x=20. Because the five is negative, the second number must be negative, because two negatives always make a positive in multiplication. Pick the only negative answer, which is D, -4

The volume of the rectangular prism is 648 feet. The rectangular base is 6 feet by 9 feet. What is the height of the prism?

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

$h=12ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula one would use for finding the volume of a rectangular prism is as follows:

Volume = length × width × height , $V=l*w*h$

With this in mind, let's plug in the given variables in the question for this formula.

$V=648ft^3$

$l=6ft$

$w=9ft$

$h=$ ?

We don't know the height, but that's just fine. We will plug in all our values and isolate $h$ .

$V=lwh\\648ft^3=(6ft)(9ft)h$

I'm leaving in units just because I want to show that units aren't just for show. They can be used when in doubt of how to go about your math.

$648ft^3=(6ft)(9ft)h\\648ft^3=(54ft^2)h\\\frac{648ft^3}{54ft^2}=\frac{(54ft^2)h}{54ft^2}$

Notice, that the units on the left side cancel out, leaving only the unit $ft$ left next to the solution. In the same way, the units on the right side cancel out too, leaving only $h$ , height.

$\frac{648ft^3}{54ft^2}=\frac{(54ft^2)h}{54ft^2}\\12ft=h$

If involving units only confuses you, like it does for me, you can remove them like so, you just need to know what units your solution uses instead of being able to come to the proper units by using math.

$V=lwh\\648=(6)(9)h\\648=54h\\\frac{648}{54}=\frac{54h}{54}\\12ft=h$
