Answer: 5p - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Brendan has six less than five times the number of pencils that Riley has.

P = the number of pencils Riley has.

The algebraic expression that represents the number of pencils Brendan has in terms of p, the number of pencils that Riley has would be:

= (5 × p) - 6

= 5p - 6

For example, if Riley has 5 pencils, the number of pencils that Brendan would have would be:

= 5p - 6.

= 5(5) - 6

= 25 - 6

= 19 pencils

Find the surface area and volume of the composite figure.
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The total volume is 33.6 + 107.52 = 141.12

The total surface area is 52 + 22.4 + 76.8 + 26.88 = 178.08

Step-by-step explanation:

Top prism:

To find the volume of the top prism, multiply the area of the base by the height. This is 1/2 times width times height times length.

V =1/2 l*w*h =1/2* 3*2.8*8 = 33.6

To find the surface area of a prism, find the area of the triangular base and the area of each rectangular side.

Area of the base is A = 1/2 * b*h = 1/2 * 3 * 8 = 12. Since there are 2 bases, the area is 24.

Area of the rectangular side is A = b*h = 2.8*5 = 14. Since there are two, the area is 2*14 = 42.

The surface area of the prism is 24 + 28 = 52.

Bottom prism:

To find the volume of the bottom prism, multiply the width times the height times the length.

V = l*w*h = 8*2.8*4.8 = 107.52

To find the surface area of the bottom prism, find the area of the base and each side of the house.

A = 8*2.8 = 22.4

A = 8*4.8 = 38.4 which occurs twice so it has a total area of 76.8

A = 2.8*4.8 = 13.44 which occurs twice so it has an area of 26.88.

The total volume is 33.6 + 107.52 = 141.12

The total surface area is 52 + 22.4 + 76.8 + 26.88 = 178.08

The sum of three numbers is 62. The second number is equal to the first number diminished by 4. The third number is four times t
Burka [1]
Hello,

Let's assume a,b,c the 3 numbers

a+b+c=62
b=a-4
c=4*a

==>a+(a-4)+4a=62
==>6a=66
==>a=11
b=11-4=7
c=4*11=44
The 3 numbers are 11;7;44

Proofs:
11+7+44=62
7=11-4
44=4*11
