Silver for x
-3 - (-8) - (-2) = x
Switch the equation to make x on the right
x = -3 - (-8) - (-2)
x = 5 - (-2)
x = 7
• A negative minus a negative will always evaluate to a positive.
• A positive minus a negative will always evaluate to a positive.
Answer:
what. omg what if is this
Step-by-step explanation:
(1) Factor the GCF out of the trinomial on the left side of the equation. (2 points: 1 for the GCF, 1 for the trinomial) 2x²+6x-20=0
2x²+6x-20
2(x²+3x-10)
the factors are 2 and (x²+3x-10)
(2) Factor the polynomial completely. (4 points: 2 point for each factor)
2(x²+3x-10)
2(x²-2x+5x-10)
2(x(x-2) + 5(x-2)) group like terms
2(x+5)(x-2)
(3) If a product is equal to zero, we know at least one of the factors must be zero. And the constant factor cannot be zero. So set each binomial factor equal to 0 and solve for x, the width of your project. (2 points: 1 point for each factor)
constant = 2 cannot be zero
the other factors are (x+5) and (x-2)
(x+5)=0 => x= -5
or
(x-2)=0 => x=2
(4) What are the dimensions of your project? Remember that the width of your project is represented by x. (2 points: 1 point for each dimension)
thank you so much, sorry if it's a little confusing!!
(it is indeed confusing, because physical dimensions cannot be negative)
The dimensions of the project (assumed a rectangle) are +2 and -5
Answer:
640 cm³
Step-by-step explanation:
Each prism has a volume of (4 cm) (4 cm) (20 cm) = 320 cm³.
There are two prisms, so the total volume is 640 cm³.
