6 0

Answer:

x = -9/22 or -0.409 to the nearest thousandth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cross multiplying we get:

(3x + 1)(x - 5) = (3x + 2)(x + 2)

3x^2 - 14x - 5 = 3x^2 +8x + 4

3x^2 - 3x^2 - 14x - 8x = 4 + 5

-22x = 9

x = -9/22

An art exhibit at a local museum features several similarly shaped metal cubes welded together to make a sculpture. The smallest

borishaifa [10]

Answer: Length of other edges will be 7.5 inches, 8 inches, 9 inches, 10.5 inches, 12 inches.

Explanation:

Length of smallest cube = 6 inches

Ratio of similarity to the smallest cube is given as follows:

1) 1.25

So, length of other edge will be

$1.25\times 6=7.5\ inches$

2) 4:3

So, the length of other edge will be

$\frac{4}{3}\times 6=8\ inches$

3) 1.5

So, length of other edge will be

$1.5\times 6=9\ inches$

4) 7:4

So, length of other edge will be

$\frac{7}{4}\times 6=10.5\ inches$

5) 2

So, length of other edge will be

$2\times 6=12\ inches$
