Answer:

-5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines are lines which have the exact same slope but different y-intercepts. We can find the slope by converting to slope-intercept form, y=mx+b from standard form.

We convert by using inverse operations to isolate y.

5x+3y=7

5x-5x+3y=7-5x

0x+3y=-5x+7

3y=-5x+7

$\frac{3y}{3} =\frac{-5x+7}{3} \\y=\frac{-5}{3}x+\frac{7}{3}$ .

The slope is -5/3. SInce parallel lines have the same slope, the slope for a parallel line will be -5/3.

The surface area of a cube is 600 cm. what is its volume? 200 1000 600 800

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

1000 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, Find the side length of the cube. The surface area is all the area on the surface of a 3-dimensional object. Since a square has 6 congruent faces the formula for surface area is 6s^2 where s is the side length. Since we know the surface area we can solve for the side length.

600=6s^2- DIvide by 6

100=s^2- Take the square root of both sides.

10=s

The volume of a cube is s^3.

10^3=V

1000=V

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

$x = \frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x}{2} +\frac{3}{4} =\frac{7}{8}$

→ Find the LCM of the denominators (2,4 and 8)

LCM = 8

→ Multiply the whole equation by 8 to get rid of the fractions

4x + 6 = 7

→ Minus 6 from both sides to isolate 4x

4x = 1

→ Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x

$x = \frac{1}{4}$

25.7 is what percent of 141?

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

about 18.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is divide the result of the percent, so 25.7, by the total, 141.

So 25.7÷141=0.18226950354

We round it to 0.182 and multiply it by 100 to know the percent which is 18.2
