Answer:

21

ctto JBarnum

Step-by-step explanation:

P+11=(1/2)(P-13)^2

P+11=(1/2)(P^2-26p+169)

2(P+11)=(1/2)(2)(P^2-26p+169)

2P+22=P^2-26p+169

0=P^2-28p+147      ( -7 and -21)

(P-7)(P-21)=0

P=7,21                     (cant be 7 as 13 years from 7 is negative so peter is 21)

checking:

21+11=32

32=(1/2)(21-13)^2

32=(1/2)(8)^2

32=(1/2)64

32=32

correct

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

  π(3 in)²(10 in) -8(4/3)(1.5 in)³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder with a radius of 3 inches and a height of 10 inches is ...

  V = πr²h = π(3 in)²(10 in)

The volume of 8 spheres with a radius of 1.5 inches is ...

  V = 8(4/3)πr³ = 8(4/3)π(1.5 in)³

The volume occupied by the water is the volume of the cylinder not occupied by the spheres. So, it is ...

  V = π(3 in)²(10 in) -8(4/3)(1.5 in)³ . . . . . . matches the 4th choice

Solve for b.<br> 3-2(b-2)=2-7b3−2(b−2)=2−7b
lyudmila [28]

Step-by-step explanation:

3 - 2(b - 2) = 2 - 7b

To solve this first distribute -2 to (b - 2)

3 + (-2b + (-2) x -2) = 2 - 7b

when we simplify this it becomes:

3 + (-2b + 4) = 2 - 7b

We take (-2b + 4) out of the parenthesis:

3 - 2b + 4 = 2 - 7b

Now simplify again.

7 - 2b = 2 - 7b

Now send all the b's to one side and constants on the other.

7 - 2 = -7b +2b

5 = 5b

b = 1
