Set up the equation:
4(8.75x-2)=97
35x-8 =97
35x =97+8
35x =105
x. =3
The value of x is 3.
This question has this set of answer choices:
a) when the plane cuts three faces of the cube, separating one corner from the others
b) when the plane passes through a pair of vertices that do not share a common face
c) when the plane is perpendicular to the base and intersects two adjacent vertical faces
d) when the plane makes an acute angle to the base and intersects three vertical faces
e) not enough information to answer the question
The right answer is the first choice: a) when the plane cuts three faces of the cube, separating one corner from the others
You can see a picture of this case in the figure attached: as you can see the cross section (in pink) is a triangle.
If there are multiple operations at the same level on the order of operations off from left to right and you work like this first noticed that there are no parentheses or exponents so we moved to multiplication and division with any sense of parentheses

Answer: 8</h3>
Reason:
Replace p with 2 and evaluate.

Think of a cube that is 2 units along each side. It's volume is 2*2*2 = 8 cubic units. Repeated multiplication can be shortened to using exponents.
