3x² = 16x - 5
3x² - 16x + 5 = 16x - 16x - 5 + 5
3x² - 16x + 5 = 0
x = <u>-(-16) +/- √((-16)² - 4(3)(5))</u>
                       2(3)
x = <u>16 +/- √(256 - 60)</u>
                   6
x = <u>16 +/- √(196)</u><u /><u /><u />
                6
x = <u>16 +/- 14 </u>
             6
x = <u>16 + 14</u>    x = <u>16 - 14</u>
            6                   6
x = <u>30</u>            x = <u>2</u>
       6                   6
x = 5              x = 0.33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

X - the number

3x^2=16x-5 \\&#10;3x^2-16x+5=0 \\&#10;3x^2-15x-x+5=0 \\&#10;3x(x-5)-1(x-5)=0 \\&#10;(3x-1)(x-5)=0 \\&#10;3x-1=0 \ \lor \ x-5=0 \\&#10;3x=1 \ \lor \ x=5 \\&#10;x=\frac{1}{3} \ \lor \ x=5

The number is 1/3 or 5.

How do you find surface area? If you can explain it that would be great :) thank you!​
zepelin [54]

Answer:

SA=2lw+2lh+2hw

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area is the sum of the areas of all faces (or surfaces) on a 3D shape. We can also label the length (l), width (w), and height (h) of the prism and use the formula, SA=2lw+2lh+2hw, to find the surface area.

PLS HELP ME HELP PLS THANK YOU
Volgvan

Answer:

1920 cubic centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

If you recall the formula to find volume, it is V=Bh (Bh stands for area of the base times the height). First, multiply 14, 8, and 10 together, to get 1120, the volume of the first figure. To find the volume of the second figure, do the same: multiply 10, 10, and 8 together to get 800. Finally, add the two volumes together to get the volume of the figure, 1920 cubic centimeters.
