We start with:
y=2x-15
y=5x
Now, we have a perfectly set-up variable we can get rid of: <em>y.</em>
But we need to make either the top or bottom equation negative, so for simplicity, let's make the bottom one negative.
y=2x-15
(-y)=(-5x)
Now simplify.
-3x-15=0
Add 3x on both sides.
3x=15
Divide by 3 on both sides.
x=5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the tax is 17¢, then you have to subtract that from 14.58
14.58-.17=14.41
14.41/6
$2.40
Answer: look at the bottom
Step-by-step explanation:
Difference of two negative numbers may or may not be negative. It depends on the numbers taken as well as on the sequence in which they are taken. Then, a-b=b-a=0, (which is neither negative nor positive..!!!) So difference of two negative numbers may be positive, negative or even zero.
Answer:
95 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
Surface area of pyramid = 4(side area) + base
Solve for the base first.
Area of base = s*s = 5*5 = 25
Next solve for one of the sides.
Area of triangle = 1/2 b*h = 1/2 5*7 = 17.5
Plug these back into our original equation.
Surface area of pyramid = 4(side area) + base
Surface area of pyramid = 4(17.5) + 25
Surface area of pyramid = 70 + 25 = 95 square units
