Answer: x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3x−x−1=15

3x+−x+−1=15

(3x+−x)+(−1)=15(Combine Like Terms)

2x+−1=15

2x−1=15

Step 2: Add 1 to both sides.

2x−1+1=15+1

2x=16

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

2x /2 = 16 /2

x=8

Find the volume of the prism.
umka21 [38]

Answer:

C = 210cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

We can get an estamate when we use the equation L x H x W = x/2

This shows 8 x 8 x 7,  then divide by 2 = 224cm^3

The reason it is slightly less could be the facts the teachers want you to remember this one.

For right side prism the equation is (1/2)b x h x  H

which means;

The volume of a triangular prism can be found by multiplying the base times the height. Both of the pictures of the Triangular prisms below illustrate the same formula. The formula, in general, is the area of the base (the red triangle in the picture on the right) times the height,h.

We use the side and base that surrounds the right side as (1/2)base and as side to find area then use the H as the height being the 7.

Keelah's clothing store bicycles for $50 and then sells them for $80 what is the percent of markup on the price of the coat
kondaur [170]

Answer:

62.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write a proportion. We know that $50 is the original value and $80 is the marked up price. We don't know the marked up percentage. Let's call it x. We write equal ratios of \frac{x}{100} comparing percent and \frac{50}{80} comparing the 50 to the marked up price. We then set them equal.

\frac{x}{100} =\frac{50}{80}

We then cross multiply across the equal sign from numerator to the opposite numerator.

80(x)=50(100)

80x=5000

We divide to find x.

x=62.5

This means the bicycles are marked up 62.5% and the original value is 37.5%.
