Answer:

x = 12

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

  1. Brackets
  2. Parenthesis
  3. Exponents
  4. Multiplication
  5. Division
  6. Addition
  7. Subtraction
  • Left to Right

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Equality Properties
  • Combining Like Terms

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

-2(5x - 5.5) + 8 = -9x + 2 - (-5)

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Distribute:                              -10x + 11 + 8 = -9x + 2 + 5
  2. Combine like terms:              -10x + 19 = -9x + 7
  3. Add 10x to both sides:          19 = x + 7
  4. Subtract 7 on both sides:     12 = x
  5. Rewrite:                                  x = 12

The surface area of the prism according to the segment labels is; 480mm².

<h3>What is the surface area of the prism?</h3>

The prism given in the task content is five-faced and hence, its surface area can be evaluated as follows;

Surface area = 2(0.5×15×8)+(15×9)+(8×9) + (17×9).

Hence, the surface area of the prism upon evaluation is; 480mm².

fomenos
You find volume by multiplying width by length by height so 

3 x 1 x 1 =  3 

so the volume is 3 cubic meters and every cubic meter of hay costs $14 so 

3 x 14 = 42

$42
