Answer:

There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

x = Number of gold coins in a chest

1/2x = Number of gold coins taken by the captain

1/4x = Number of gold coins taken by Sally

3 = Number of gold coins left

2. How many coins were in the chest at the start?

Let's write the following equation to solve for x:

1/2x + 1/4x + 3 = x

2x + x + 12 = 4x (Lowest Common Denominator is 4)

4x - 2x - x = 12 (Like terms)

x = 12

There were 12 gold coins in the chest at the start.

Hope this helps :D

Draw a net for each of the following shapes:
Margarita [4]
A. You would start off by a rectangle in the middle, then you would place to squares on the bottom and top if the rectangle. After you've done that, you place two rectangles (Same size as the original) on both sides of the original rectangle. Finally you add a rectangle (Same size) to either ends of the secondary rectangles. It should look like this.


B. You would start off with a rectangle in the middle, then you would add 2 equilateral triangles to the top and bottom of the rectangle. After that, you Simply put 2 rectangles (Same size as the original) on both sides of the rectangle. It should look something like this.

C. To make a pyramid, it's actually quite simple. You would start off with a square in the middle, and then place equilateral triangles on ALL sides of the square. It should look something like this.

I hope this helped ^^

Find the value of x in the isosceles triangle shown below.
joja [24]
Answer: C. 10

Explanation:

Take half right triangle from the isosceles triangle:

We get side lengths:

12/2 = 6, 8, and x

And use Pythagorean’s theorem to find x:

6^2 + 8^2 = x^2
36 + 64 = x^2
100 = x^2
10 = x
