Find the volume of each of the following cubes. a. s = 7 kilometers b. s = 11 yards

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

Part 1) $V=343\ km^{3}$

Part 2) $V=1,331\ yd^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of a cube is equal to

$V=s^{3}$

where

s is the length of the cube

Part 1)

we have

$s=7\ km$

substitute in the formula

$V=7^{3}$

$V=343\ km^{3}$

Part 2)

we have

$s=11\ yd$

substitute in the formula

$V=11^{3}$

$V=1,331\ yd^{3}$

4(x−1)−3(2x−5)<br> plz help

nikitadnepr [17]

First you distribute. 4 to x-1 and 3 times 2x-5 you should get 4x-4-6x+15 because -3 times -5 is positive 15. Combine like terms 6x-4x is 2x and 15-4 is 11

Which statements about the system are true?

Kruka [31]

2 Answers:

B) The lines are parallel
C) The lines have the same slope.

Parallel lines always have equal slope, but different y intercepts.

==========================================================

Explanation:

Let's solve the second equation for y

3y - x = -7

3y = -7+x

3y = x-7

y = (x-7)/3

y = x/3 - 7/3

y = (1/3)x - 7/3

The equation is in y = mx+b form with m = 1/3 as the slope and b = -7/3 as the y intercept. We see that the first equation, where y was already isolated, also has a slope of m = 1/3. The two equations of this system have the same slope. Choice C is one of the answers.

However, they don't have the same y intercept. The first equation has y intercept b = -4, while the second has b = -7/3. This means that they do not represent the same line. They need to have identical slopes, and identical y intercepts (though the slope can be different from the y intercept of course) in order to have identical lines. So we can rule out choice D and E because of this.

Because the two equations have the same slope, but different y intercepts, this means the lines are parallel. Choice B is the other answer.

Parallel lines never touch or intersect, which in turn means there is no solution point. A solution point is where the lines cross. We can rule out choice A.

I recommend using your graphing calculator, Desmos, GeoGebra, or any graphing tool (on your computer or online) to graph each equation given. You should see two parallel lines forming. I used GeoGebra to make the graph shown below.
