3(2x - 5) - 8x = -2(x - 1)

Use the distributive property:

6x-15 - 8x = -2x +2

Combine like terms:

-2x - 15 = -2x +2

Since both sides have -2x, but the other numbers are not the same, this equation does not have a solution.

Answer: 1050

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of combinations of selecting r things out of n = $^nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}$

such that $^nC_1=n$

Given: A restaurant menu has 5 kinds of soups, 7kinds of main courses, 6 kinds of desserts, and 5 kinds of drinks.

If a customer randomly selects one item from each of these four categories, then by fundamental counting principle , the number of different outcomes are possible = $^5C_1\times \ ^7C_1\times\ ^6C_1\times\ ^5C_1 =5\times7\times6\times5=1050$

hence, total number of outcomes = 1050

kvasek [131]

Answer:

The new volume is 375 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a right square prism:

The volume of a right square prism is given by:

$V = a^2h$

In which a is the length of the edge and h is the height.

A right square prism has a volume of 75 cubic inches.

This means that:

$a^2h = 75$

The prism is enlarged so its height is increased by a factor of 5

Edge is the same, height is 5 times. So

$a^2(5h) = 5(a^2h) = 5*75 = 375$

The new volume is 375 cubic inches.
