Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we have to distribute: (-0.5 * -2x) and (-0.5 * 8) -8 = 8

1x - 4 - 8 = 8

Next collect like terms: 1x - 12 = 8

Isolate x to get the value of x: Add 12 to both sides

1x = 20

So x = 20

Answer:x=20

Step-by-step explanation: first you distribute the value outside of the parentheses

-0.5*2x= 1x

-0.5*8=-4

it then becomes

x-4-8=8

combine -4 and -8

x-12=8

add the 12 over

x=20

Gravel is being dumped from a conveyor belt at a rate of 20 ft3 /min and its coarseness is such that it forms a pile in the shap

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The height of the pile is increasing at the rate of $\mathbf{ \dfrac{20}{56.25 \pi} \ \ \ \ \ ft/min}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Gravel is being dumped from a conveyor belt at a rate of 20 ft³ /min

i.e $\dfrac{dV}{dt}= 20 \ ft^3/min$

we know that radius r is always twice the diameter d

i.e d = 2r

Given that :

the shape of a cone whose base diameter and height are always equal.

then d = h = 2r

h = 2r

r = h/2

The volume of a cone can be given by the formula:

$V = \dfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3}$

$V = \dfrac{\pi (h/2)^2 h}{3}$

$V = \dfrac{1}{12} \pi h^3$

$V = \dfrac{ \pi h^3}{12}$

Taking the differentiation of volume V with respect to time t; we have:

$\dfrac{dV}{dt }= (\dfrac{d}{dh}(\dfrac{\pi h^3}{12})) \times \dfrac{dh}{dt}$

$\dfrac{dV}{dt }= (\dfrac{\pi h^2}{4} ) \times \dfrac{dh}{dt}$

we know that:

$\dfrac{dV}{dt}= 20 \ ft^3/min$

So;we have:

$20= (\dfrac{\pi (15)^2}{4} ) \times \dfrac{dh}{dt}$

$20= 56.25 \pi \times \dfrac{dh}{dt}$

$\mathbf{\dfrac{dh}{dt}= \dfrac{20}{56.25 \pi} \ \ \ \ \ ft/min}$

The height of the pile is increasing at the rate of $\mathbf{ \dfrac{20}{56.25 \pi} \ \ \ \ \ ft/min}$

Which fraction is greater 9/12 or 1/3

ValentinkaMS [17]

We need to first find a common denominator. This means that we need the 12 and the 3 to be the same number. We can change the 1/3 into 4/12 and see that 9/12 is larger than 4/12.

HELPP plz in. 17 thank u so much

sergij07 [2.7K]

In the table, you can see level 1 is 5 to the first power, level 2 is 5 to the second and go on.
so in level 6 would be 5 to the sixth power
so the answer to first one is 5^6
for the second question you should know that level 2 is 5^2 and level 6 is 5^6 so 5^6/5^2 = 5^4 is the answer :))))
I hope this is helpful
have a nice day
