Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

So calculate.

-1/6x+3+1/3x+1=x+4.

Cancel equal terms.

-1/6x+4+1/3x=x+4

Multiply both sides -1/6x+1/3x=x

collect like terms.

-x+2x=6x

move the variable from right to left.

x=6x

collect like terms

x-6x=0

Divide both sides

-5x=0

x=0

Type the correct answer in each box. Spell all words correctly, and use numerals instead of words for numbers. If necessary, use

Firlakuza [10]

Given:
2 rectangular prism.
same height
square bases

Box A Box B
Square Base side 2 ft 0.75 ft
Height 4 ft 4 ft

Solving for the space inside each rectangular prism, we need to find its volume.

Volume of a rectangular prism = length * width * height

Box A:
Volume = 2 ft * 2 ft * 4 ft = 16 cubic feet

Box B:
Volume = 0.75 ft * 0.75 ft * 4 ft = 2.25 cubic feet

Box A - Box B = difference in space

16 cubic feet - 2.25 cubic feet = 13.75 cubic feet

Box A contains 13.75 cubic feet more space than Box B.

Convert 6 2/3 cups to pints. Express your answer in simplest form.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

First off, let's convert the mixed fraction to "improper", keeping in mind that, there are 2 cups in 1 pint.

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{6\frac{2}{3}}\implies \cfrac{6\cdot 3+2}{3}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{20}{3}}
\\\\\\
\begin{array}{ccll}
cups&pints\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
2&1\\\\
\frac{20}{3}&p
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{\quad 2\quad }{\frac{20}{3}}=\cfrac{1}{p}\implies \cfrac{\quad \frac{2}{1}\quad }{\frac{20}{3}}=\cfrac{1}{p}$

$\bf \cfrac{2}{1}\cdot \cfrac{3}{20}=\cfrac{1}{p}\implies \cfrac{3}{10}=\cfrac{1}{p}\implies p=\cfrac{10\cdot 1}{3}\implies p=\cfrac{10}{3}\implies p=3\frac{1}{3}$

The expression (x2 + 16x + 64) – (x + 8)(x – 4) can be rewritten as k(x + 8). What is the value of k? k =

9966 [12]

$expanding \\ {x}^{2} + 16x + 64 - ( {x}^{2} + 4x - 32) \\ distributing \: - 1 \\ {x}^{2} + 16x + 64 - {x}^{2} - 4x + 32 \\ 12x + 96 \\ take \: a \: factor \: of \: 12 \\ 12(x + 8) \\ so \: k = 12$
