6 - x - x = 18

6 - 2x = 18

-2x = 12

-2x/-2 = 12/-2

x = -6

hope this helps

A cylindrical pressure vessel has a height of 9 feet and a diameter of 6 feet. how much gas can the pressure vessel hold when fu

bezimeni [28]

Step-by-step explanation:

the volume of a cylinder is as for any other regular 3D object :

ground area ×height

the ground area of a cylinder is a circle, so it is

pi×radius² × height

the radius is always half of the diameter (of the diameter is airways twice the radius).

radius = 6/2 = 3 ft.

the volume is then

pi × 3² × 9 = pi × 9 × 9 = pi × 81 ft³

so, the answer is 81pi ft³.

Jane is planting a mixture of flowers. For every ounce of Marigold seeds she uses 2/5 of an ounce of lupine seeds how many ounce

dusya [7]

Answer:

$\frac{5}{2}$ ounces of marigold seeds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Jane uses 2/5 of an ounce of lupine seeds for every ounce of Marigold seeds. We are asked to find the ounces of Marigold seeds, which Jane will use, if she used one ounce of lupine seeds.

We will use proportions to solve our given problem.

$\frac{\text{Marigold seeds}}{\text{Lupine seeds}}=\frac{1}{\frac{2}{5}}$

Let us simplify our proportion as shown below:

$\frac{\text{Marigold seeds}}{\text{Lupine seeds}}=\frac{1\cdot 5}{2}$

$\frac{\text{Marigold seeds}}{\text{Lupine seeds}}=\frac{5}{2}$

Since Jane used 1 pounce of lupine seeds, so we will substitute this value in our proportion as:

$\frac{\text{Marigold seeds}}{1}=\frac{5}{2}$

$\text{Marigold seeds}}=\frac{5}{2}$

Therefore, Jane will use $\frac{5}{2}$ ounces of marigold seeds, if she used one ounce of lupine seeds.

What is the value of x if e3x+6=8

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

x = 1/3 ln(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

e^(3x)+6=8

Subtract 6 from each side

e^(3x)+6-6=8-6

e^(3x) = 2

Take the natural log of each side

ln (e ^3x) = ln (2)

3x = ln(2)

Divide by 3

3x/3 = 1/3 ln(2)

x = 1/3 ln(2)

Terry wants to divide his 120 baseball cards into two groups, so that the ratio of the number of cards in the first group to the

Naddik [55]

Let the number of cards in each group be 2x and 3x.
So,
2x + 3x = 120
5x = 120
x = 120 / 5
x = 24
Number of cards in each group is
2x = 2 × 24 = 48
3x = 3 × 24 = 72

Answer:

1478 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change is the distance divided by the time.

$\text{Rate of change} = \dfrac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} = \dfrac{\text{2956 mi}}{\text{2 h}} = \textbf{1478 mi/h}$
