Answer:

36 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to think backwards to solve this question.

(8 - 2) x 2 = 12

(12 - 2) x 2 = 20

(20 - 2) x 2 = 36

1. If 5x + 6 = 10, what is the value of 10x + 3?
Digiron [165]
Here the question is simple.
All because, we only need to find the value of x.
We are given two equations.
5x + 6 = 10 and 10x + 3 =?
So, we will find the the value of x in the first equation, so that we can substitute the value of x in the second one and there we are with the answer.
5x + 6 = 10
For finding the value of x, all we have to do is,
Transpose the number 6 to 10
Therefore. 5x = 10 - 6 ( Take the equal sign as The Magic Bridge on which if anyone crosses it , will change its sign.)
So we have,
5x = 4
So x = 4/5 ( Multiplication will change to division after crossing the equal sign)
( Doubtful? Substitute the value of x and try!)
Now that we got the value of x,
We can just simply substitute the value of x in the second equation.
10x + 3 = ?
x = 4/5
10*4/5 +3 => 5 and 10 get canceled to 2 at the numerator.
By normal multiplication and then addition, we will get,
8 + 3 = 11
Hope this helps!!!! :)

Find the volume of given prism round to the nearest tenth necessary.
atroni [7]
First, find the area of the base (the triangle) and then multiply it by the height

to find the area of the triangle you need to know the height. cut the triangle in half and you get a right triangle, from there you can use the Pythagorean theorem. remember since you cut the triangle in half you have to divide one of the sides by 2

a^2 + b^2 = c^2              (plug in known information)
a^2 + (7.5)^2 = (15)^2      (solve, first solve the exponents)
a^2 + 56.25 = 225         (subtract 56.25 on both sides)
a^2 = 168.75                    (solve for a, put 168.75 under the square root)

then once you find the area multiply by the known height

How can you express a clear and coherent argument visually or in writing?
Vikki [24]
Let's say you have an idea that you want to present in writing. For an argument to be valid, it must have supporting evidence. An argument would just be useless if it did not have any documents or laws that would be supporting its justification. To say for example, I wanted to argue that the law of conservation of energy is not true. If I don't show actual evidence of energy being created, then that would leave me with an unclear, and most possibly invalid argument.
