Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The mistake is that the sign (<) isn't flipped.

When a negative number is multiplied, the sign of the inequality flips to go the other way, so < would go >.

The mistake occurs in the second to last line. When you divide both sides by a negative number, the inequality sign should flip.

So the answer should be x > -5 instead of x < -5.

---------------------------

Here's why the inequality sign flips

Let's start with the inequality -2x < 10. Add 2x to both sides and we get 0 < 10+2x which is the same as 0 < 2x+10

Then subtract 10 from both sides to end up with -10 < 2x

We can flip both sides of -10 < 2x to end up with 2x > -10. Note the inequality sign flips, as well as the left and right sides.

Afterward, we solve 2x > -10 by dividing both sides by 2 to get x > -5. The inequality sign does not flip when we divide both sides by a positive number.

True [87]

- linear pairs are supplementary, meaning they add up to 180°

5x + 9 + 3x + 11 = 180

8x + 20 = 180

8x = 160

x = 20

- now plug in.

angle 1: 5(20) + 9 = 100 + 9 = 109°

angle 2: 3(20) + 11 = 60 + 11 = 71°

Formula for V of pyramid is V = 1/3 Bh
B = area of base
h = height

Q1.
8 x 6 = 48
48 = area of base
48 x 5 (height) = 240
240 x 1/3 = 80
80 cm^3

Q2.
8 x 12 would get the area of the base.

the formula says 1/3 Bh, so the base is multiplied by the height (10) and by 1/3.
So if you substitute in the values into the formula, it'll be:
V = 1/3 (12) (8) (10)

Q3.
4 x 6 = 24
base = 24 cm^2
height = 9
1/3 x 24 x 9 = 72
Volume = 72 cm^3

statement 1 is incorrect. The area of the base is actually 24 cm^2

statement 2 is correct.

statement 3 is correct. the volume of the rectangular prism (9 x 4 x 6) is 216cm^3, which is 3 times the volume of the pyramid (72 cm^3).

statement 4 is incorrect. This would require the volume of the pyramid to be 9 times of its own volume.

statement 5 is correct.

 statement 6 is incorrect. The volume of the pyramid is 72, not 216.

Q4.
use the balance method to get the answer.
108 / 1/3 = 108 x 3 = 324
324 / 9 (the height) = 36
the base has an area of 36 in^2

Q5.
6 x 4 gets the area of the base
8 is the height
substitute them into the formula:
V = 1/3 (6) (4) (8)

Q6.
8 x 6 = 48
48 = area of base
9 = height
substitute them into the formula:
V = 1/3 (48) (9)
1/3 x 48 x 9 = 144
Volume of this pyramid is 144 in^3
