Answer:

x = -7/9

Step-by-step explanation:

The usual recommendation is to clear fractions first. Here, you can do that by multiplying both sides of the equation by 6.

6(-1/2(3x -4) +3x) = 6(5/6)

-9x +12 +18x = 5 . . . . . . . . . simplify

9x = -7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 12

x = -7/9 . . . . . .divide by 9

Another way to do this is to eliminate parentheses first.

-3/2x +2 +3x = 5/6

3/2x = -7/6 . . . . . . . . . collect terms, subtract 2

x = (-7/6)(2/3) = -7/9 . . . . multiply by 2/3

Find the volume of the triangular prism in the picture shown. Round your answer to the

Olenka [21]

Given:

A figure of a triangular prism.

Height of triangular base = $9\dfrac{2}{3}$ yd

Base of triangular base = 4 yd

Height of prism = 4 yd.

To find:

The volume of the triangular prism.

Solution:

Volume of a triangular prism is:

$V=Bh$ ...(i)

Where, B is the area of triangular base and h is the height of the prism.

Area of triangular base is:

$B=\dfrac{1}{2}\times base\times height$

$B=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 4\times 9\dfrac{2}{3}$

$B=2\times \dfrac{29}{3}$

$B=\dfrac{58}{3}$

Putting $B=\dfrac{58}{3}$ and h=4 in (i), we get

$V=\dfrac{58}{3}\times 4$

$V=\dfrac{232}{3}$

$V=77.33...$

$V\approx 77.3$

The volume of the triangular prism is 77.3 cubic yards. Therefore, the correct option is 2.
