This zigzag crystal vase has a height of 12 inches. The cross sections parallel to the base are always rectangles that are 5 inches wide by 4 inches long.
(a) If we assume the crystal itself has no thickness, what would be the volume of the
base?
A cubic inches
(b) The crystal is actually half an inch thick on each of the sides and on the bottom.
Approximately how much space is contained within the vase?
A cubic inches

if y=4x then you will substitute 4x in for y in the second equation.

8x + 4x = 18 combine like terms

12x = 18 divide by 12 on both sides

x = 18/12 or 3/2

now replace x in the first equation with 3/2 to get

y = 4 3/2

y = 6

the answer is a

(3/2,6)

hope that .

brainliest is always apprectiated

i think the answer is a.( -3, -1 )

answer: the answer to this problem is 2x and 2-x both have x as well as 2

step-by-step explanation: first you have to see what is the closest thing they have similar second you note it example 4x and 4+x they both have x and 4
