5x+x=18
x=3
5 times 3 is 15.
15 plus 3 is 18.

What non-zero rational number must be placed in the square so that the simplified product of these two binomials is a binomial:

aleksandrvk [35]

The product would expand to

$(7t-10)(5t+x)=35t^2+7tx-50t-10x=35t^2+(7x-50)t-10x$

This is a trinomial, and the only way to make it a binomial is to cancel out a coefficient using our variable $x$ .

So, we can cancel either the linear term or the constant term.

In the first case, we require

$7x-50=0 \iff 7x=50 \iff x=\dfrac{50}{7}=\dfrac{49}{7}+\dfrac{1}{7}=7\dfrac{1}{7}$

In the second case, we require

$-10x=0\iff 10x=0 \iff x=0$

But $x$ must be a non-zero rational number, so this solution is not feasible.

A contest on a game show receives -25 points for each wrong answer what integer represents the change in periods after three wro

Paladinen [302]

To represent the change in points, you can think of it in two ways:

1. You will go down 25 points for every wrong answer, so -25 + -25 + -25 would represent what is happening. They are all negative, so you keeping moving down in value.

2. You can also think of this as 3 groups of -25.

Both answers are -75. The answer is negative because the change was down in points.

-75 is the integer that represents this situation.

A solid oblique pyramid has a regular hexagon base with an area of 54_/3 cm^2 and an edge length of 6cm. Angle BAC measures 60 d

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer: The answer is (C) 324 cubic cm.

Step-by-step explanation: As given in the question, given a solid oblique pyramid with a regular hexagonal base and area 54√3 cm². Also, the edge length of the base is 6cm and ∠BAC = 60°.

We are to find the volume of the pyramid.

The formula for finding the volume of a pyramid is given by

$V=\dfrac{1}{3}b\times h,$
