<h3>Solution :-</h3>

➩ 70 = 12 + 9x - 2 ( x + 6 )

➩ 70 = 12 + 9x - 2x - 12

➩ 70 = 0 + 7x

➩ 70 = 7x

Here we can use 2 methods

Methods :-

Trial and error method :- By adding,subtracting , multiplying or dividing the same variable or constant on LHS & RHS
Transposing :- by transposing a term from LHS to RHS or RHS to LHS

• Trial and error

By dividing with 7 on both sides

➩ 70/7 = 7x/7

➩ x = 10

• Transposing

By transposing 7 from RHS. to LHS

➩ 70/7 = x

➩ x = 10

Hence , x = 10

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we would be solving for the x-variable.

Solve:

70 = 12 + 9x - 2(x + 6)

Use the "distributive property":

70 = 12 + 9x - 2x - 12

Combine like terms:

70 = 12 + 7x - 12

70 = 7x

Divide both sides by 7 to get the variable "x" by itself:

10 = x

A right prism has height 7½ and triangular bases with sides of length 5, 12, and 13 What is the: Total Surface Area of the Prism

sdas [7]

Given:

A right prism has height 7½ and triangular bases with sides of length 5, 12, and 13.

To find:

The total surface area of the prism.

Solution:

We have,

Height of prism = 7½ = 7.5

Sides of triangular base are 5, 12, 13. These sides of Pythagorean triplets because

$5^2+12^2=13^2$

$25+144=169$

$169=169$

So, the base of the prism is a right triangle.

Area of a triangle is

$Area=\dfrac{1}{2}\times base \times height$

$A_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 5\times 12$

$A_1=30$

The area of the base is equal to the area of the top, i.e., $A_2=30$ sq units.

Perimeter of the base is

$P=5+12+13$

$P=30$

The curved surface area of the prism is

$CSA=\text{Perimeter of the base}\times \text{Height of the prism}$

$CSA=30\times 7.5$

$CSA=225$

Now, the total area of the prism is

$A=A_1+A_2+CSA$

$A=30+30+225$

$A=285$

Therefore, the total surface area of the triangular prism is 285 square units.

Thomas received a $50 gift card for an online store, and he wants to buy LED lights to decorate his bedroom. If one strand

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Thomas can buy 4 strands.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to round $11.86 to the nearest dollar, which is $12.

Now we ask ourselves, "how many times does 12 go into 50 without going over?"

12 × 4 = 48

12 can go into 50 4 times.
