1) 20 = -5(-3+x)
20/-5 = -3 + x
-4 = -3 + x
-4 + 3 = x
x = -1
2)20 = -5(-3 + x)
20 = 15 - 5x
20 - 15 = - 5x
5 = -5x
5/-5 = x
x = -1

1) First way:

$-5(-3+x) = 20$

=> $15 - 5x = 20$

=> $-5x = 20 -15$

=> $-5x = 5$

=> $x = 5/-5$

=> $x = -1$

2) Second way:

$-5(-3+x)=20$

=> $-3+x = 20/-5$

=> $- 3 + x = -4$

=> $x = -4 + 3$

=> $x = -1$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given figure shows a triangular pyramid having 16 units as height. The base of pyramid is triangle.

The area of a triangular pyramid is given by :

$A=\dfrac{1}{3}bH$

Where

b is the area of base

$A=\dfrac{1}{3}\times \dfrac{1}{2}\times B\times h\times H\\\\=\dfrac{1}{6}\times 12\times 8\times 16\\\\=256\ units^2$

So, the required area is equal to $256\ units^2$ .

K/13 = 0.6/0.5 what does that equal

photoshop1234 [79]

$\frac{k}{13}$ = $\frac{0.6}{0.5}$ equals k = 15.6

First, simplify $\frac{0.6}{0.5}$ to 1.2. Your problem should look like: $\frac{k}{13}$ = 1.2
Second, multiply both sides by 13. Your problem should look like: k = 15.6, which is the answer.
