Solve the equation
So first we subtract 8 from both sides because we apply the inverse operation.
-2x+8=-16
     -8      -8
Now we apply it and re write the equation
-2x=-24
Now the inverse operation for multiplication is division, so we apply it.
-2x=-24
------------
 -2      -2
We are left with x=8
So our final answer is x=8

Check our work
-2(8)+8=-16

CORRECT ANSWER. :)

Answer:

63cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the shaded region = Area of the rectangle - Area of the two triangles

Area of the rectangle = 6(3+14)

Area of the rectangle = 6 * 17

Area of the rectangle = 102cm²

Area of the smaller triangle = 1/2 * 3 * 6

Area of the smaller triangle = 18/2 = 9cm²

Area of the larger triangle = 1/2 * 6 * (17-7)

Area of the larger triangle = 1/2 * 6 * 10

Area of the larger triangle = 60/2 = 30cm²

Area of the shaded part = 102 - (9+30)

Area of the shaded part = 102 - 39

Area of the shaded part = 63cm²

Leona [35]

Answer: 4 feet < Length < 21 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the length of the rectangular fence is 4 feet more than its width and the perimeter of the fence is less than 42 feet. The range of the lengths of the fence will be:

Length is greater than 4 feet (4 feet more than the width. This means that the length must be at least 4 feet) and less than 21 feet i.e the length must be less than 1/2 of the perimeter which is 42/2 = 21. Therefore, the answer will be:

4 feet < Length < 21 feet

A cylinder and a cone both have radius of 6". The height of the cone is 12". The height of the cylinder is 6". Which has the gre
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

cylinder has greatest volume

Step-by-step explanation:

solution

given,

radius of cylinder(r)=6cm

height of cylinder (h)=6cm

we know,

volume of cylinder=πr^2h

=22÷7×6×6×6

=4752÷7

=678.857cm^3

radius of cone(r)=6cm

height of cone(h)=12cm

we know,

volume of cone=1÷3πr^3

= 1÷3×22÷7×6×6×6

= 4752÷21

=226.2857cm^3

as a result,cylinder has greatest volume
