Determine whether the statement is sometimes, always, or never true. If ax+b-4=b and doesn’t equal 0 then x=4/a?
attashe74 [19]

Start with expression ax+b-4=b.

1. Separate terms - with x leave in left side, without x write in right side:

ax=b-b+4,\\ \\ax=4.

2. Divide the last expression by a (a\neq 0):

x=\dfrac{4}{a}.

Answer: this statement is true when a\neq 0.

Simplify. please7−5x−(3+5x) 4 + 10x44−10x10 + 10x
Alenkasestr [34]

Simplify the expression:

7 - 5x - (3 + 5x)

Operate the parentheses. Each term changes its signs because the minus sign represents a -1:

7 - 5x - (3 + 5x) = 7 - 5x - 3 - 5x

Collect like terms:

7 - 5x - (3 + 5x) = 7 - 3 -5x - 5x

Simplify:

7 - 5x - (3 + 5x) = 4 - 10x

Answer: 4 - 10x

Find the surface area of the figure shown. 5 cm 5 cm cm 1.5 cm 8 cm your answer​
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

51 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula for area of an icoselese triangle is
A = b * h / 2
h is a line from the angle where the 5 and 5 intersect to the middle of the third line
You can find h using the pythagoran theorm with the 5 being the hypotenuse and the a being half the third line

4^2 + b^2 = 5^2
16 + b^2 = 25
b = 3, so h = 3, so now
A = 8 * 3 / 2
A = 24 / 2
A = 12 cm^2

now we have the triangle, just multiply that by 2 (top and bottom)
12 * 2 = 24

sides
8 * 1.5 = 12
5 * 1.5 * 2 = 15

now add all of it
15 + 12 + 24 = 51

Mario's grape vine grows 7.5 inches in 3 weeks. At this rate, how much will the grape vine grow in 15
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

It will grow 37.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

It grew 7.5 in 3 weeks. Divide 7.5 by 3 and you'll get 2.5. So that means every week it grows 2.5 inches. So multiply 2.5 x 15 and you'll get 37.5 inches
