Both of the first
8 - N = 22
N - 8 = 22
Represent the difference between a number and 8 is 22 as it is not mentioned that either 8 or the unknown number N is greater so both of the first two represent the difference between a number and 8 is twenty two.
X-intercept would be (-5,0)
and the y-intercept would be (0,-5)
<span>Remember the ratios
Linear = a : b
Area = a^2 : b^2
Volume = a^3 : b^3
Hence area ratios are 1008 : 1372
Becomes linear ratios of Sqrt(1008) : sqrt(1372) :: 31.749 : 37.040
Volume ratios becomes 31.749^3 : 37.040^3 :: 32002.96 : 50817.46
Hence
32002.96 / 50817.46 = Vol (S) / 1801 cm^3
Vol(s) = 32002.96 X 1801 / 50817.46 = 1134.20cm^3 ( nearest hundredth).

Both terms (1/3b and -1/3) contain the term 1/3. Factoring this out, we get:
1/3(b - 1)
