Consider this equation. 7.8+2(0.75m+0.4)=-6.4m+4(0.5m-0.8) Mia solved the equation and determined that m=2. Is she correct?

Answer:

B) She is incorrect because when substituting 2 for m the result was a false statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve it for ourselves and see if Mia is correct:

7.8+2(0.75m+0.4)=-6.4m+4(0.5m-0.8)

7.8+1.5m+0.8=-6.4m+2m-3.2

1.5m+8.6=-4.4m-3.2

8.6=-5.9m-3.2

11.8=-5.9m

-2=m

m=-2

Since the answer is actually m=-2, Mia's guess is incorrect because plugging in m=2 does not make both sides equal. Therefore B is the correct option.

Can someone simply explain how to find the area of a triangular prism ? step by step ^^;

Vika [28.1K]

The formula:
A = bh + L (s1 + s2 + s3)

A: area
b: base
h: height
L: length
s1: side 1 (cross-sectional area)
s2: side 2 (cross-sectional area)
s3: side 3 (cross-sectional area)

Here’s an example (see attached image)

A = (4 x 6) + (12 x [7 + 7 + 4])
A = (24) + (12 x 18)
A = 24 + 216
A = 240cm^2

I hope this helped? Comment if you need more explanation or anything!

What is the square root of 100 times two divided by two

gogolik [260]

Answer:

10 is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

√((100 * 2)/2)

Simplify. First, follow the Parenthesis. Combine 100 with 2

100 * 2 = 200

Next, divide by 2

200/2 = 100

Root 100

√100 = √10 * √10 = 10

10 is your answer

An easier way to solving this is to first cancel out the 2's ( multiplying 2 and dividing 2 would do nothing), and just square rooting 100, giving you the answer 10.
