Answer:
x = - 
= - 62.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x = - 25
Multiply both sides by 5 to clear the fraction
2x = - 125 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = - = - 62.5
Answer:
The largest number of pyramids she can make from 20 bars of chocolate is:
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, you must find the volume of the 20 bars of chocolate, remember that each bar contains 6 cubic inches of chocolate (6 in^3), so:
- Volume of the bars = 6 in^3 * 20
- <u>Volume of the bars = 120 in^3</u>
Now, you must find the volume of each pyramid, using the next formula:
- Volume of a pyramid = 1/3 B * h
Where:
<em>B = area of the square base.</em>
<em>h = height of the pyramid.</em>
How these values are given in the problem, we only replace the values in the formula:
- Area of a pyramid = 1/3 (1 in^2) * 2 in
- <u>Area of a pyramid = 2/3 in^3</u>
Finally, we divide the volume of the bars in the volume of each pyramid:
- Total number of pyramids = 120 in^3 / 2/3 in^3
- <u>Total number of pyramids = 180</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
y = –3x –3
y = –2x –3
y = 2x –3
y = 3x –3
Answer:
14 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming each horse was only ridden once
then a total of 13 horses were ridden for a total of 182 miles
182 miles
/ 13 horses = 14 miles horse
Of course, if each horse was ridden more than once before being replaced the distance between replacements could be reduced.
Note that the fact that there were 3 riders is irrelevant.
Answer:
x=4 y=7
Step-by-step explanation:
When multiplying 3x by -2, you get -6x. -6x and 6x cross out. You're left with -2y=-2 and -2y=10.
