For this case, the first thing we must do is define a variable.

We have then:

x: unknown number

We now write the equation that models the problem:

(\frac{1}{2}) x + 15 = 9

From here, we clear the value of x.

We multiply both sides of the equation by 2:

(\frac{2}{2}) x + 2 (15) = 2 (9)\\x + 30 = 18

We subtract 30 on both sides of the equation:

x + 30 - 30 = 18 - 30\\x = -12

Answer:

The value of the unknown number is given by:

x = -12

Can someone help me? I'm trying to find the slope form of 4x + 2y = 4.
Neporo4naja [7]
Here, Equation: 4x + 2y = 4
Divide the equation by 2, 
2x + y = 2
y = -2x + 2

Now, compare the equation with y = mx + c
Here, slope (m) = -2

In short, Your Answer would be -2

Hope this helps!

A right prism has a base that is an equilateral triangle. The height of the prism is equal to the height of the base. If the vol
Romashka [77]

<u>Answer:</u>

Lengths of the sides (there are 3 sides in an equilateral triangle) of the base of prism is <u>5.72cm </u>each.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

As the base of triangular prism is equilateral:

∴ Area of base = (√ 3 / 4)× (side)²

According to question:

height of prism = height (side) of base

Volume of prism = 81 cm³,

∴ Volume of prism = Area of base x height

⇒  81 cm³ = (√ 3 / 4)× (side)² × height       ∵ side = height

⇒   81 cm³ = (√ 3 / 4)× (side)³

⇒  81 × (4/√3) cm³ = side³    

⇒  ∛(81 × (4/√3) cm = side

⇒  side = <u>5.72cm</u>
