<h3>hello!</h3>

Let's solve this equation.

Step 1

Move the numbers to the right:-

5x=2x-3-3

Step 2

Move the x's to the left

5x-2x=-3-3

Notice I use the opposite operation :)

Step 3

Combine like terms

3x=-6x

Step 4

Divide both sides by 3

x=-2

That's the value of x that makes the equation true.

Hope everything is clear; if you need any clarification/explanation, kindly let me know, and I'll comment and/or edit my answer :)

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

$5x+3 = 2x -3 \\\\\implies 5x -2x = -3 -3\\\\\implies 3x = -6\\\\\implies x = -\dfrac 63 =-2$

The owner of a cattle ranch would like to fence in a rectangular area of 3000000 m^2 and then divide it in half with a fence dow

Reika [66]

If you notice the picture below, the amount of fencing, or perimeter, that will be used will be 3w + 2l

now $\bf \begin{cases}
A=l\cdot w\\\\\
A=3000000\\
----------\\
3000000=l\cdot w\\\\
\frac{3000000}{w}=l
\end{cases}\qquad thus
\\\\\\
P=3w+2l\implies P=3w+2\left( \cfrac{3000000}{w} \right)\implies P=3w+\cfrac{6000000}{w}
\\\\\\
P=3w+6000000w^{-1}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
now\qquad \cfrac{dP}{dw}=3-\cfrac{6000000}{w^2}\implies \cfrac{dP}{dw}=\cfrac{3w^2-6000000}{w^2}
\\\\\\
\textit{so the critical points are at }
\begin{cases}
0=w^2\\\\
0=\frac{3w^2-6000000}{w^2}
\end{cases}$

solve for "w", to see what critical points you get, and then run a first-derivative test on them, for the minimum

notice the $0=w^2\implies 0=w$ so. you can pretty much skip that one, though is a valid critical point, the width can't clearly be 0

so.. check the critical points on the other

A square pyramid. The square base has side lengths of 6 inches. The 4 triangular sides have a base of 6 inches and height of 9 i

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

The area of the pyramid’s base is 36 in².

The pyramid has 4 lateral faces.

The surface area of each lateral face is 27 in².

Step-by-step explanation:

"<u>Lateral</u>" means side, so the lateral faces are <u>triangles</u>.

The <u>base</u> is the bottom, which is a <u>square</u>.

To calculate the <u>area of the base</u>, use the formula for area of a square.

$A_{base} = s^{2}$

$A_{base} = (6 in)^{2}$

$A_{base} = 36 in^{2}$

To calculate the <u>area of a lateral face</u>, find the area of a triangle.

$A_{lateral} = \frac{bh}{2}$

$A_{lateral} = \frac{(6 in)(9 in)}{2}$

$A_{lateral} = \frac{54 in^{2}}{2}$

$A_{lateral} = 27 in^{2}$

In a pyramid, the number of lateral faces is the same as the number of sides in the base. <u>The square base as 4 sides, so there are 4 lateral faces</u>.

Decreace £2500 by 1%

kondaur [170]

Ok, if you decrease <span>£2500 by 1% you get 99% remaining
</span>So
99% of £2500 = 0.99 x £2500 = <span>£2475</span>
