Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the equation first, 2/3(3x+6)=10

Distribute 2, 2(3x+6)/2

Which equals 6x+12/3=10

Then multiply 3 from both sides 6x+12=30

Subtract 12

6x=18

Divide 6 from both sides

x=3

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number. The problem statement tells you ...

2/3(3x +6) = 10

2x +4 = 10 . . . . . . use the distributive property

x +2 = 5 . . . . . . . . divide by 2

x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 3

The number is 3.

<em>Comment on the solution</em>

The above shows an "alternative" solution method. The more usual way this might be done is ...

2(3x +6) = 30 . . . . . multiply by 3 to clear fractions

6x +12 = 30 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

6x = 18 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 12

x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6

This is the isosceles right triangle, the diagonal of a square, the thing that so upset the Pythagoreans. The two sides and diagonal of a square are in ratio $1:1:\sqrt{2}$ so we get

$u = v = 8$

We could have also gotten this using Trig:

$u = (8 \sqrt{2}) \sin 45^\circ = 8 \sqrt{2}/\sqrt{2} = 8$

$v = (8\sqrt{2})\cos 45^\circ = 8$

Or by recognizing u=v because remaining angle is 45 so this must be isosceles so

$u^2 + u^2 = (8 \sqrt{2})^2$

$2u^2 = 2 (8^2)$

$u = 8$

ASAP! What is the surface area of the solid?

Answer:

I think is is 14 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 plus 2 plus 5 plus 5 = 14

I don't know if this is right.

not times because 2 time 2 times 5 times 5 equals 100. there is no 100 . divide is not working and subtract is not working so add. I hoke this is correct and helps.
