Set the equation equal to zero.

9x+6=0
Subtract 6 from both sides
9x = -6
Divide both sides by 9
x=-6/9
or -2/3

2(5x-3)=0
Distribute
10x-6=0
add 6 to both sides
10x=6
Divide by 10 on both sides
x=6/10 or 4/5

5y+14=0
-14 from both sides
5y=-14
divide both sides by 5
y=-14/5
or -2 and 4/5

Two glass containers are shown. Both are right rectangular prisms. Container 1 is filled with water and Container 2 is empty.
dmitriy555 [2]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  18 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of each container is the product of its dimensions:

  V = LWH

We can let h represent the unknown height of Container 2. The volumes are equal when ...

  32·18·12 = 24·16·h

  (32·12·18)/(16·24) = h =18 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of h, simplify

The missing height of Container 2 is 18 inches.

Margarita [4]

Let x be total hours of battery life. We have been given that battery life of Vera's phone is down to 2/5. So remaining battery life,

1-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{5-2}{5}=\frac{3}{5}

We have been also given that it drains another 1/9 every other hour. Now let us substitute our given information into an equation.

\frac{1}{9}\cdot x=\frac{3}{5}

Now we will solve for x.

x=\frac{3\cdot 9}{5}=\frac{27}{5}

x=(5+\frac{2}{5})hours

Let us convert 2/5 into minutes. We know 1 hour has 60 minutes.

60\cdot \frac{2}{5}=24\text{minutes}

Therefore, remaining battery life will be 5 hours and 24 minutes.
