Answer:

There was a 15 among the 7 numbers. That is the number you removed.

Step-by-step explanation:

x/7 = 9                       (1)

(x -  y)/6 = 8               (2)

Multiply 1 by 7

x/7 * 7 = 9*7

x = 63

Put 63 for x into equation 2

(63 - y)/6 = 8         Multiply by 6

6*(63-y)/6 =8*6

63 - y = 48            Add y to both sides

63-y+y = 48+y

63 = 48 + y           Subtract 48 from both sides

63-48=48-48+y

y = 15

The difference between nine times number and thirty

9x-30 I’m pretty sure!
We are finding the difference, which means subtract! Nine times a number would be 9x and since it’s difference you would subtract it by 30.

A+b=77,a-b=13 care sun nr
STALIN [3.7K]
It's a simultaneous equation:
Steps:
1.Number the equations..

a+b=77 -1
a-b=13 -2

2. Choose what variable you want to use. In this case I would use the "b". Since the signs in front of the "b's" are different, add the two equations together

a + b = 77
+ + +
a (-b) = 13

Which gives;
2a = 90

Then solve to find a:
2a=90
a= 90/2
a=45

3.Then plug the "a" value into any of the original equations to find the "b" value. I would use equation 1 since the all the variables are positive.

a + b = 77
(45) + b = 77
b=77-45
b=32

4.Solution

a=45
b=32

a cone has a volume of 1230.88 units cubed and a diameter of 14 units what is the height of the cone use 3.14 for pi
ANEK [815]

Answer:

h= 24

Step-by-step explanation:

v = \pi {r}^{2}  \frac{h}{3}

r =  \frac{d}{2}

r =  \frac{14}{2}

r= 7

1230.88=3.14×7^2×h/3

1230.88= 153.86h/3

h=1230.88/153.86

h= 24
