Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive Property: a(b + c) = (a*b) + (a*c)

           2x - 4(x - 3) = -8 + 5x - 8

2x + x * (-4) - 3*(-4) = -8 + 5x - 8

          2x - 4x + 12  = -8 + 5x - 8    

   2x -  4x - 5x + 12 = -8 - 8

               -7x  + 12  = -16

                       -7x  = -16  -12

                      -7x   = -28

                          x = -28/-7

x = 4

Samuel has an ant farm with a volume of 375 cubic inches. The width of the ant farm is 2.5 inches and the length is 15 inches. W
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information, it is clear that the shape of ant form is rectangular prism.

Let us write formula for volume of rectangular prism (ant form)

V = l x w x h

Use the formula to write an equation.

Plug V = 375, w = 2.5 and l = 15

375 = 15 x 2.5 x h

375 = 37.5 x h

Divide both sides of the equation by 37.5

375/37.5 = (37.5 x h)/37.5

10 = h

Hence, the height of the form is 10 inches.
