Answer: -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= the number

2x-4=x-10 ⇔ according to the statement

x-4=-10 ⇔ subtraction property of equality (subtract x from both sides)

x=-6 ⇔ addition property of equality (add 4 on both sides)

Hope this helps!! :)

Answer:

n = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright so this can be solved by using variables. Let's say n = number.

4 subtracted from twice a number can be represented as 2n - 4.

10 less than the number can be represented as n - 10.

Since the outcome of the first expression is equal to the second, we can set them equal to each other to solve:

2n - 4 = n - 10.

Then you isolate n by adding 4 to both sides...

2n = n - 6,

... then subtracting n from both sides:

n = -6

There you go!

The completed table will have values filled into it accordingly from left to right and the downwards.

<h3>What values are required to complete the table?</h3>

The concept of relative frequencies involves expressing the frequency of occurrence of events as a fraction of a whole frequency.

Hence, it follows that the blank space on the top-leftmost corner of the table can be filled with the value; 4/5 = 0.8.

For the top-rightmost blank space in the table, the required value is; 2/754 = 0.0027.

For the bottom-leftmost blank space, the required value to fill the table is; 1/5 = 0.2.

For the bottom-rightmost blank space, the required value is; 752/754 = 0.9973.

Your friend's swimming pool is in the shape of a rectangular prism, with a length of 25 feet, a width of 8 feet, and a height of

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Part a) $V=1,000\ ft^{3}$

Part b) $h=5\ ft$

Part c) $=718\ gal$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) What is the volume of your friend's swimming pool?

we know that

The volume of a rectangular prism is equal to

$V=LWH$

substitute the values

$V=(25)(8)(5)=1,000\ ft^{3}$

Part b) Your swimming pool is in the shape of a cylinder with a diameter of 16 feet and has the same volume as your friend's pool. What is the height of your pool?

we know that

The volume of a cylinder is equal to

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

we have

$V=1,000\ ft^{3}$

$r=16/2=8\ ft$ ----> the radius is half the diameter

substitute and solve for h

$1,000=\pi (8)^{2} h$

$h=1,000/(64 \pi)$

$h=1,000/(64*3.14)=5\ ft$

Part c) While you were on vacation, 6 inches of water evaporated from your pool. About how many gallons of water evaporated from your pool?

remember that

$1\ ft=12\ in$

$6\ in=6/12=0.5\ ft$

Find the volume of water for $h=5-0.5=4.5\ ft$

$V=(3.14)(8)^{2}(4.5)=904.32\ ft^{3}$

the volume of water evaporated is equal to

$1,000\ ft^{3}-904.32\ ft^{3}=95.68\ ft^{3}$

convert to gallons

remember that

$1\ ft^{3}=7.5\ gal$

$95.68\ ft^{3}=95.68*7.5=718\ gal$
