The mistake was when she multiplied the 2nd equation by 5, she forgot to also multiply that last number 10 by 5 as well.

correction :
5x + 3y - z = 15
-x + 2y + 3z = 10...multiply by 5
---------------------
5x + 3y - z = 15
-5x + 10y + 15z = 50 (result of multiplying by 5)
--------------------add
13y + 14z = 65

Gideon is painting all sides of a square pyramid-shaped decoration at the top of his fence post. A net of the decoration is show
frez [133]
Gideon is painting all sides thus we find the overall area of the square pyramid given in the picture. A square pyramid is a polyhedron that consists of a square and 4 triangles. To solve the area that Gideon will have to paint, we can calculate the area of the square and the area of the triangles then add these two values of area. We proceed as follows:
Area of the square = s^2 where s is the measure of the side
Area of the square = 4^2 = 16 in^2

Area of the triangle= 1/2 bh where b is the base of the triangle and h is height of the triangle
Area of the triangle = 1/2 (4) (5) = 10 in^2
We multiply the area of the triangle to four in order to obtain the total area of the triangles.
Total area of the triangles = 4 x 10 = 40 in^2

We then add the two areas,
Total Area = 16 + 40 = 56 in^2

Thus the total area that Gideon will have to paint for one square pyramid is 56 in^2.

Which of the following numbers are written correctly in expanded form? Select TWO that apply.
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

C is correct, D might be correct if you forgot 000 at the end of the question.

Step-by-step explanation:

005  = 5x1  so A is incorrect

945 = 9x100 +  4x10 +   5x1 so B is incorrect

15.859 = 1x10 +  5x1 +  8/10 +  5/100 +  9/1000 +  so C is correct

973.001 = 9x100 + 7x10 + 2x1 + 1/1000 so D is incorrect
