Answer: 32 students
Step-by-step explanation: 8 x 4 = 32
Given:
x = 12 in, y = 16 in and z = 20 in
To find:
The surface area of the geometric shape.
Solution:
Area of top rectangle = z × z
= 20 × 20
Area of top rectangle = 400 in²
Area of middle rectangle = z × y
= 20 × 16
Area of middle rectangle = 320 in²
Area of bottom rectangle = z × x
= 20 × 12
Area of bottom rectangle = 240 in²
Area of left triangle = 

Area of left triangle = 96 in²
Area of right triangle = 

Area of right triangle = 96 in²
Surface area = 400 + 320 + 240 + 96 + 96
= 1152
The surface area of the geometric shape is 1152 in².
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
b(a + 1) + a = b*a + b + a = ab + b + a
1) b(2a +1 ) = b*2a + b*1 = 2ab + b Not equivalent.
2)a + (a +1)*b = a + ab+ b Equivalent
3) (a +1)(b+ a) = a*(b +a) + 1*(b+a) = ab+ a² +b + a Not equivalent.
4) (a + 1)b + a = ab+ b + a Equivalent
5) a + b(a+1) = a +ab + b Equivalent
6) a + (a +1) + b = a + a + 1 + b = 2a + 1 +b Not equivalent.
7) a(b +1) + b = ab + a + b Equivalent
-3x + 5 = 16
First, subtract 5 from both sides.
-3x = 11
Then, divide -3 by both sides.
x = -11/3 or -3.66....
