For this problem, there are two situations. To solve this, let's construct an algebraic equation for each. Let's find the total cost. Let x be the number of yards.
Situation 1: Cost = 4x + 5
Situation 2: Cost = 6x +2
Now, both situations have the same cost. So,
4x + 5 = 6x + 2
6x - 4x = 5 - 2
2x = 3
<em>x = 3/2 or 1.5 yards</em>
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The surface area of the square pyramid is equal to the area of the square base plus the area of its four lateral triangular faces
so
![SA=b^{2}+4[\frac{1}{2}bh]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=SA%3Db%5E%7B2%7D%2B4%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7Dbh%5D)
where
b is the length side of the square base
h is the height of the triangular face
Remember that
Each lateral triangular face is a triangle 45°-90°-45°
so

we have

so

substitute in the formula
![SA=6^{2}+4[\frac{1}{2}(6)(3)]=72\ ft^{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=SA%3D6%5E%7B2%7D%2B4%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%286%29%283%29%5D%3D72%5C%20ft%5E%7B2%7D)
Answer:
m<−18
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the inequality.
m+12<−6
Step 2: Subtract 12 from both sides.
m+12−12<−6−12
m<−18
