The correct answer would be A), because the two shortest sides should be greater than the longest side when added together.
x + 7 = 2(3x - 4) Remove the brackets
x + 7 = 2*3x - 4*2
x + 7 = 6x - 8 Subtract 7 from both sides.
x + 7 - 7 = 6x - 8 - 7
x = 6x - 15 Subtract 6x from both sides
x - 6x = - 15
-5x = - 15 Divide by -5
-5x/-5 = -15/-5
x = 3
Answer:
-12
Step-by-step explanation:
We start with the equation: 
Substitute the variables: 
Solve using order of operations (start with multiplication): 
And then addition/subtration: 
Answer:
1.03
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the volume of a prism, find the area of the base and multiply it by the height.
The base is an octagon. The area is found
. Substitute a = 0.5.

The volume is 1.21*2.5 = 3.025.
However, there are three holes drilled out half way which each have volume 0.06.
The volume is found as V = πr²h. Substitute r = 0.125 which is half the diameter of 0.25. Since they go half way, the height is h = 1.25.
V = π(0.125)²(1.25) = 0.06.
Since there are 3, they equal 3*0.06 = 0.18.
Subtract this from the volume.
1.21 - 0.18 = 1.03
