After modelling the mathematical statement and solving its equivalent mathematical relation, we get x = -36.
<h3>What is Equation Modelling?</h3>
Equation modelling is the process of writing a given mathematical statement in the form of a numeric mathematical expression taking into considerations the operations, constants and other variables.
Given in the question is a number such that twice the difference of a number and 9 is equal to three times the sum of the number and 6.
Assume that the number is x. Now, we will model the equation and solve for x. According to the question, the following mathematical relation represents the statement-
2(x - 9) = 3(x + 6)
2x - 18 = 3x + 18
x = - 36
Therefore, the number is -36.

Harley is 15 years less than seven times Marcy's age, so that means Haley + 15 = 7 * Marcy
Equation: (41 + 15) / 7 = 56 / 7 = 8
Marcy's age is 8.
Hope this helped =)
There’s probably an easier way to do it like with the equation to find the area of a trapezoid but i did it this way bc it’s easier for me
i split the trapezoid into a triangle and a square
with the pythagorean theorem i found the missing side length to find the area of the square (length X width)
then found the area of the triangle (base X height divided by 2)
THE ANSWER IS 68.9 CM
Answer: Choice C) 124 square cm
------------------------------------------------------------------
Explanation:
Let's calculate the area of the trapezoid shown
b1 and b2 are the parallel bases; h is the height of the 2D trapezoid
b1 = 2
b2 = 5
h = 1.5
A = h*(b1+b2)/2
A = 1.5*(2+5)/2
A = 1.5*7/2
A = 10.5/2
A = 5.25
The area of one 2D trapezoid is 5.25 sq cm
There are two of these trapezoids that form the base faces of the trapezoidal prism. So the total base area is 2*5.25 = 10.5 sq cm
Keep this value (10.5) in mind. We'll use it later.
------------
Now onto the lateral surface area (LSA)
It turns out that the formula for the LSA is
LSA = p*d
where
p = perimeter of the trapezoid shown
d = depth or height of the 3D trapezoid (I'm not using h as it was used earlier)
This formula works for any polygonal base. It doesn't have to be a trapezoid.
In this case the perimeter is,
p = 1.7+2+2.65+5
p = 11.35
So
LSA = p*d
LSA = 11.35*10
LSA = 113.5
Add this LSA to the base area found earlier
10.5+113.5 = 124
The total surface area is 124 square cm
