2x = 7 + 3
2x = 10
x = 10/2
x = 5
S: {5}
Redville = r
Greenboro = 12r
Total of the two towns = 65
Now we can set up our equation.
r + 12r = 65
13r = 65
13r/13 = 65/13
r = 5
Redville gets 5 inches
For volume of a prism, the general rule is multiply the area of the base by the area of the height. For example, for a triangular prism, the volume would be (1/2)b*h*a if you set a = height of the prism and h = height of the triangle from the formula (1/2)bh, which is the area of a triangle.
