Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5(x-4) =-10

Distribute 5 by multiplying x and -4 by 5

5x - 20 = -10

Add 20 to both sides

5x - 20 + 20 = -10 + 20

5x = 10

Divide both sides by 5

5x ÷ 5 = 10 ÷ 5

x = 2

5(x-4)=-10 (multiply 5 to x and -4)
5x-20= -10 (add 20 to -10)
5x=10 (divide both sides by 5)
x=2

Students at Mendel Middle School are planning a fair for their school's fundraiser. Liam volunteers to help plan the event. The
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

15 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

x is the number of hours that Liam volunteered in the first month

The next month he volunteered 1\dfrac{2}{3} times the time he volunteered the first month.

Total time he volunteered in the two months is 40 hours so

x+1\dfrac{2}{3}x=40\\\Rightarrow x+\dfrac{5}{3}x=40\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3x+5x}{3}=40\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{40\times 3}{8}\\\Rightarrow x=15

Time he volunteered in the first month is 15 hours.

Let f(x)=x^3-x-1
alexira [117]
f(x) = x^3 - x - 1

To find the gradient of the tangent, we must first differentiate the function.

f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(x^3 - x - 1) = 3x^2 - 1

The gradient at x = 0 is given by evaluating f'(0).

f'(0) = 3(0)^2 - 1 = -1

The derivative of the function at this point is negative, which tells us <em>the function is decreasing at that point</em>.

The tangent to the line is a straight line, so we will have a linear equation of the form y = mx + c. We know the gradient, m, is equal to -1, so

y = -x + c

Now we need to substitute a point on the tangent into this equation to find c. We know a point when x = 0 lies on here. To find the y-coordinate of this point we need to evaluate f(0).

f(0) = (0)^3 - (0) - 1 = -1

So the point (0, -1) lies on the tangent. Substituting into the tangent equation:

y = -x + c \\\\ -1 = -(0) + c \\\\ -1 = c \\\\ \text{Equation of tangent is } \boxed{y = -x - 1}

First, you would create an equation for this problem. 
\frac{18}{15}= \frac{x}{100}

Next, you would cross multiply. 
15x = 1,800

Now, you would isolate the x. To do this, you would divide both sides by 15. 
x = 120

It is a 120% increase. 

I hope this helps!

What is the total surface area of the drawing?
Soloha48 [4]

Total surface area equals area of 5 rectangular faces + 2 pentagonal faces


Area of 5 rectangular faces

=5 \times 6 \times 9 km^2


=270 km^2


Area of 2 pentagonal faces can be found by drawing 5 isosceles triangles with height as shown in the diagram and multiply the result by 2.


=5 \times \frac{1}{2} \times 9 \times 6.2 \times 2km^2



=279km^2



The toatal surface area is



=270+279=549 km^2


The correct answer is A
