You really have 2 separate equations to solve here:
1) 5(x-1) = - 20 => 5x - 5 = -20 => 5x = -15 => x = -3
2) 3y = -15 => y = -5
Answer:
3x² - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
3 times (number squared) and sum with (-7)
3 times x² and add (-7)
3x² + (-7)
3x² - 7
Please restate the question
For A, 5x4x3=60
for B 5x3x2=30
for C 5x4x1=20
for D 5x4x2=40
hence, A has a volume of 60cubic units!
What I did was add all the x's since you are trying to find the perimeter then I got 16 and then you add the whole numbers. 16x+3
