Hannah is giving her sister a softball for her birthday, and wants to put it in a cubic gift box to preserve the surprise. She w

Inga [223]

Answer:

B. E(s) = s^3 - 29.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of empty space $E(s)$ inside the cubic box is equal to the volume of the box minus the volume of the softball.

If the side length of the cubic box is $s$ , and the volume of the softball is $29in^3$ , then the amount of empty space $E(s)$ inside is

$E(s) = s^3-29$ ,

where $s^3$ is the volume of the cubic box.

Since it matches the equation we got above, choice B stands correct.

My pigg y bank has only pennies and nicklels in it , and 2/7 of the coins are nickel If i remove 84 pennies then 1/3 of the reme

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

There are 105 pennies in the piggy bank.

There are 42 nickels in the piggy bank.

Step-by-step explanation:

there are:

p pennies in the piggy bank

n nickels in the piggy bank

Then we can define T, the total number of coins, as:

T = p + n

We know that 2/7 of the total number of coins are nickels.

This can be written as:

n = (2/7)*T = (2/7)*(n + p)

And if we remove 84 pennies, 1/3 of the remaining coins are pennies.

This can be written as:

p - 84 = (1/3)*(n + p - 84)

Then we have a system of two equations:

n = (2/7)*(n + p)

p - 84 = (1/3)*(n + p - 84)

Let's solve the system, to do it, we first need to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations.

We can isolate n in the first one, to get:

n = (2/7)*(n + p) = (2/7)*n + (2/7)*p

n - (2/7)*n = (2/7)*p

n*(5/7) = (2/7)*p

n = (7/5)*(2/7)*p = (2/5)*p

n = (2/5)*p

Now we can replace this in the other equation:

p - 84 = (1/3)*(n + p - 84)

p - 84 = (1/3)*( (2/5)*p + p - 84)

Let's solve this for p

p - 84 = (1/3)*( (7/5)*p - 84)

3*(p - 84) = (7/5)*p - 84

3p - 252 = (7/5)*p - 84

3*p - (7/5)*p = 252 - 84

(15/5)*p - (7/5)*p = 168

(8/5)*p = 168

p = (5/8)*168 = 105

There are 105 pennies in the piggy bank.

And we know that:

n = (2/5)*p = (2/5)*105 = 42

There are 42 nickels in the piggy bank.

8. Let f(x) = 3x + 2 and g(x) = x - 3. Find f(x) - g(x) and state its domain.

Dvinal [7]

F(x) - g(x)
becomes
(3x + 2) - (x - 3)

which is
3x + 2 - x + 3

then add like terms
2x + 5

so f(x) - g(x) = 2x + 5
and it's domain should be all real numbers

Solve for P: 9(p−4)=−18 Please Explain

vekshin1

Answer:

p = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Happy to help.

When we have numbers in parenthesis, we generally want to deal with those first. However, we can hit a rough patch when a variable is in there. Consider this:

2(3 + 4) = 2(7), or 14.

But, the two can also be distributed into both numbers in the parenthesis, like this:

2(3 + 4) = 2*3 + 2*4

That leaves us with the same answer—14! We can apply this to a variable, and that will help us figure out 9(p - 4), or the left side of your equation you presented.

9(p - 4) = -18

9*p - 9*4 = -18

9p - 36 = -18

Add 36 on both sides to isolate the variable (in this case, p)

9p = -18 + 36

You can also write it like this; 9p = 36 - 18

9p = 18

Divide 9 to isolate p

p = 2

So, we would get (p = 2). Make sure to practice a few more questions like these to really get the hang of it—you'll be using this a lot in the future!

Good luck!
