Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

x = 7/8

Discussion:

3[x + 3(4x – 5)] = 15x – 24 =>

3x + (3*3)(4x-5) = 15x - 24 =>

3x + 9*(4x) - (3*3)*5 = 15x - 24 =>

3x + 36x - 45 = 15x - 24 => (add 24 to each side)

3x + 36x - 45 + 45 = 15x - 24 + 45 =>

39x = 15x + 21 => (as 45-24 = 21)

39x-15x = 21 => (subtract 15x from both sides)

24x = 21 =>

x = 21/24 = -7/8

3 minutes - 2 minutes = 1 minute

30 gallons - 12 gallons = 18 gallons

it is draining at 18 gallons per minute

equation would be: y = -18x

Complete the statement using always, sometimes, or never. A rectangle is __________________ a rhombus.

Lesechka [4]

Hi!

A rectangle can sometimes be a rhombus if it has sides of all equal lengths. If a rectangle was a rhombus, it would also be a square. Furthermore, a square is always a rhombus.

Hope this helps! :)

Find the area of the triangle. Figure is not drawn to scale. Show your work. (Image attached)

Zolol [24]

Answer: $13.8cm^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle can be calculated with the formula:

$A_{(triangle)}=\frac{b*h}{2}$

The base of the triangle is "b" and the height of the triangle is "h",

In the figure you can observe that the base and the height of the triangle are:

$b=6.9cm\\h=4cm$

Knowing these values, you can substitute them into $A_{(triangle)}=\frac{b*h}{2}$ .

Therefore, the area of the triangle is:

$A_{(triangle)}=\frac{(6.9cm)(4cm)}{2}$

$A_{(triangle)}=13.8cm^2$
