Start by distributing the 3 through the parenthses on the left side.

This gives us 3x - 15 = 30.

Now add 15 to both sides to end up with 3x = 45.

Dividing both sides by 3, we fin that <em>x = 15</em>.

Answer:

x=15

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x-5)=30

First, you would distribute the three to the x and the negative five.

3x-15=30

Then you would add 15 to the 15 to cancel it and to the 30 to make it even.

3x-15=30

+15=+15=

3x=45

Finally, you would divide 3 into both sides, cancelling out the three and fiving you,

x=15

Hope this helped!

Given:
Square pyramid with lateral faces.
646 ft wide at the base.
350 ft high.

Because of the term lateral faces, we need to get the lateral area of the square pyramid.

Lateral Area = a √a² + 4 h² ; a = 646 ft ; h = 350 ft

L.A. = 646 ft √(646ft)² + 4 (350ft)²
L.A. = 646 ft √417,316 ft² + 4 (122,500 ft²)
L.A. = 646 ft √417,316 ft² + 490,000 ft²
L.A. = 646 ft √907,316 ft²
L.A. = 646 ft * 952.53 ft
L.A. = 615,334.38 ft²

12. Write the first five terms of two different sequences that have 10 as the

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

a) The arithmetic sequence with common difference 2 that has 8 as the first term.

b) The arithmetic sequence of common difference -5 and first term 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use for example the arithmetic sequence with common difference 2 that has 8 as the first term. Then the first two terms of this sequence are:

8, and (8+2) = 10 Therefore the second term is 10.

Another arithmetic sequence of common difference -5 and first term 15. The firs two terms of this sequence are:

15, and (15 - 5) = 10. Therefore again a 10 as second term.
