X + 2x + x + 10 = 90
4x = 80
x = 20
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a typo in the question, the lengths of the sides of the prism are:
24 cm
9 cm
17 cm
(otherwise, if all sides were 9 cm, it would be a cube, not a prism)
The volume of a rectangular prism is given by:
where:
l is the length of the prism
w is the width of the prism
h is the height prism
In this problem,
(length)
(width)
(height)
Therefore, the volume of the prism is:
X Coordinate: (-3a + 3a)/2
0/2 = 0
Y Coordinate: (b + b)/2
2b/2 = b
Midpoint: (calculated x, calculated y)
In this case, the midpoint should be (0, b)
Answer: x=12, x=-3
Step-by-step explanation: For this factored problem, you see that -36 is negative, as well at -9. This shows you that you need to find two numbers that multiply to get -36, and add up to get -9. Two numbers that both satisfy these requirements are -12 and 3. They multiply to get -36, and add to get -9.
Once you have found your values, you plug them into (x+/- __)(x+/- __), which is (x-12)(x+3).
But since the problem asks you to find the zeroes, you set each factor equal to zero, like this:
x-12=0 and x+3=0
Then solve and you have you answer!
