Answer:

$\huge\boxed{b=\dfrac{3V}{h}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$V=\dfrac{1}{3}bh\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 3}\\\\3V=3\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot\dfrac{1}{3\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}bh\\\\3V=bh\qquad\text{divide both sides by}\ h\neq0\\\\\dfrac{3V}{h}=\dfrac{bh}{h}\\\\\dfrac{3V}{h}=b\to \boxed{b=\dfrac{3V}{h}}$

Solve for x:<br> -3(2x+1) + 3x = 6x + 3<br> Help!!

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

b x =-2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

-3(2x+1) + 3x = 6x + 3

Distribute

-6x -3 +3x =6x+3

Combine like terms

-3x-3 = 6x+3

Add 3x to each side

-3x+3x-3 = 6x+3x+3

-3 = 9x+3

Subtract 3 from each side

-3-3 = 9x+3-3

-6 = 9x

Divide by 9

-6/9 = 9x/9

-2/3 =x

What is 0.4(0.3x-1)=2+0.75x ?

Andrews [41]

1st disribute .4 through the parentheses.

.4 (.3x-1)=2+.75x
.12x-.4=2+.75x

subtract .12x from each side

-.4 = 2 + .63x

subtract 2 from each side

-2.4 = .63x

Divide each side by .63

-3.81 = x
