Answer:

The dimension of the base of the Rectangle Pyramid is Length = 10 and Width = 8/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Rectangle Pyramid

Base Length = 3x + 1

Base Width = x

Height = 12

Volume = 96

Required

Dimension of the base of the pyramid

Given that the volume of the pyramid is ⅓ of the base area * the height.

This is represented mathematical as

Volume = ⅓ * base area * height.

Where

Base area = width * length

Base area = (3x + 1) * x

Base area = 3x² + x.

So,

Volume becomes

Volume = ⅓ * (3x² + x) * 12.

Volume = (3x² + x) * 4

Substitute 96 for volume

96 = (3x² + x) * 4

Divide both sides by 4

96/4 = (3x² + x) * 4/4

24 = 3x² + x

Subtract 24 fr both sides

24 - 24 = 3x² + x - 24

0 = 3x² + x - 24

3x² + x - 24 = 0

Expand

3x² + 9x - 8x - 24 = 0

Factorize

3x(x + 3) - 8(x + 3) = 0

(3x - 8)(x + 3) = 0

3x - 8 = 0 or x + 3 = 0

3x = 8 or x = -3

x = 8/3 or x = -3

Recall that

Length = 3x + 1

Width = x

For any of the above expression, x can't be less than 0; so, x = -3 can't be considered.

Substitute x = 8/3

Length = 3x + 1

Length = 3(8/3) + 1

Length = 8 + 1

Length = 9

Width = x

Width = 8/3

Hence, the dimension of the base of the Rectangle Pyramid is Length = 10 and Width = 8/3

Natalka [10]

Answer:

TC (A) = 40x , TC (B) = 500 + 20x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of students be = x

Hall A Total Cost

Relationship Equation, where TC (A) = f (students) = f (x)                                40 per person (student) = 40x

Hall B Total Cost

Relationship Equation, where TC (B) = f (students) = f (x)                          500 fix fee & 20 per person (student) = 500 + 20x

Help me ill give branilyest
Luda [366]

Answer:

The unit price is the cost per unit of an item or the cost/price for each item.

1) <u>4$</u> per pound. By simplifying the proportion (constant ratio) between the cost, and the pounds of apples. 3 pounds of apples cost 12$ → 3/3 pounds of apples cost 12/3$ → 4 dollars for every pound.

2) <u>2$</u> per pound. By evaluating the rate of change (change in the y over x or dependent variable over independent) in the equation: y = <u>2</u>x. y is the cost in dollars, and x is the pounds of apples. So there are 2 pounds (weight) of apples for every dollar.

3) <u>3$</u> per pound. Given a graph with a y scaled by 3, and an x scaled by 1 with a graph y = x or 1 unit up for every unit right. This must be equivalent to y = 3x. Where y is labeled as the cost in dollars, and x as the weight in pounds. So there are 3 dollars for every pound of apples.

4) Store B. Because 2 is less than 3 which is less than 4.

wolverine [178]

Answer:

19.5 ounces of spices

Step-by-step explanation:

Raheem made 14 ounces of curry sauce which contained (among other things), 3.25 ounces of spices. He wants to make a larger batch for a family dinner and decides he will need a total of 84 ounces of sauce altogether. How many ounces of spices will he need to complete his recipe?

The question above is calculated as:

14 ounces of sauce = 3.25 ounces of spices

84 ounces of sauce = x ounces of spices

Cross Multiply

14x = 84 × 3.25

x = 84 × 3.25/14

x = 19.5 ounces of spices

Hence, for 84 ounces of curry sauce he would need 19.5 ounces of spices
