Distribute 7 to both n and 1
7(n + 1) = 7n + 7
5n + 7 = 7n + 7 - 2n
Combine like terms
5n + 7 = 7n - 2n + 7
5n + 7 = 5n + 7
If you want to solve for n, subtract 7 from both sides
5n + 7 (-7) = 5n + 7 (-7)
5n = 5n
then divide 5 from both sides
5n/5 = 5n/5
n = n
Effectively, this equation is <em>unsolvable</em>
hope this helps
Let h = height of triangle
h^2 + 12^2 = 15^2
h^2 + 144 = 225
h^2 = 225 - 144
h^2 = 81
sqrt{h^2} = sqrt{81}
h = 9 cm
For part B, we need to find surface area because it represents the perimeter of this 3-D figure. The formula needed is SA = B + LA.
1. First find the lateral area.
LA = perimeter of triangle • height
LA = ph
p = 15 + 15 + 24
p = 30 + 24
p = 54 cm
LA = (54)(9)
LA = 486 cm^2
2. We now find the base of each triangle. This is found by finding the area of each triangle and multiplying by 2.
A = (1/2)bh
A = (1/2)(24)(9)
A = 108 cm^2
A = 2•108 cm^2
A = 216 cm^2 = our B in the surface area formula.
SA = B + LA
SA = 216 cm^2 + 486 cm^2
SA = 702 cm^2
The amount of cardboard needed is 702 cm^2.
Answer:
For every pound that the package weight increases, the price of sending it increases by $3.80.
Step-by-step explanation:
The coefficient 3.80 multiplies the variable x (package weight), so if x is 1 pound the cost increase $3.80, if x is 2 pound the cost increase 2*3.80 = $7.6, and so on. Generally speaking, for every pound that the package weight increases the cost increases by $3.80.
The first part of the second line, she left the -5 there. The correct work and solution should be this:
5(2x-1)-3x=5x+9
<span><span>7x</span>−5</span>=<span><span>5x</span>+<span>9
</span></span>2x-5=9
2x=14
x=7
