Answer:
m = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
3m= 5(m + 3)-3
Distribute
3m = 5m +15 -3
Combine like terms
3m = 5m +12
Subtract 5m
3m-5m = 5m+12-5m
-2m = 12
Divide by -2
-2m/-2 = 12/-2
m = -6
Problem 1
<h3>Answer:
104 cubic inches</h3>
----------------------
Explanation:
The prisms are similar so they have the same shape, but different sizes.
The linear scale factor from small to large is:
large/small = 10/4 = 2.5
Meaning that we multiply each dimension of the smaller prism by 2.5 to get the corresponding side length of the larger prism
4*2.5 = 10
This linear scale factor is then cubed to get the volume scale factor
(2.5)^3 = 15.625
Which tells us:
larger volume = 15.625*(smaller volume)
smaller volume = (larger volume)/15.625
smaller volume = (1625)/15.625
smaller volume = 104 cubic inches
========================================================
Problem 2
<h3>Answer: 650 square inches</h3>
----------------------
Explanation:
We will go back to the linear scale factor of 2.5
This time, we square it to get (2.5)^2 = 6.25
This is the surface area scale factor.
larger surface area = 6.25*(smaller surface area)
larger surface area = 6.25*(104)
larger surface area = 650 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
b=a-80
c=b-61
c=a-141
a+b+c=3a-221=430
3a=651
a=217 & b =137 & c=76
