Answer:

The king left his castle with 44 silver coins.

Step-by-step explanation:

A king left his castle with a bag of silver coins and he gave his coins to 3 peasants in an order. Finally he went home with two coins left.

To solve this question we calculate it in reverse order.

Finally the king has in his bag = 2 coins

Before it he met third peasant king had =

= (2+2) × 2

= 4×2 = 8

Before the king met third peasant, he had 8 coins.

Before he met Second peasant king had :

= (8+2) × 2

= 10 × 2 = 20

Before he met second peasant king had 20 coins.

Before he met first peasant he had :

= (20+ 2) × 2

= 22 × 2 = 44

Before King met first peasant he had 44 silver coins.

grandymaker [24]

The solution is B = 43

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify and solve for the unknown for 5(B + 3) = 4(B - 7) + 2B

  • Simplify each side
  • Add the like terms in each side if need
  • Separate the unknown in one side and the numerical term in the other side to find the value of the unknown

∵ 5(B + 3) = 4(B - 7) + 2B

- Multiply the bracket (B + 3) by 5 in the left hand side and multiply

  the bracket (B - 7) by 4 in the right hand side

∵ 5(B + 3 ) = 5(B) + 5(3) = 5B + 15

∵ 4(B - 7) = 4(B) - 4(7) = 4B - 28

∴ 5B + 15 = 4B - 28 + 2B

- Add the like terms in the right hand side

∵ 4B + 2B = 6B

∴ 5B + 15 = 6B - 28

- Add 28 to both sides

∴ 5B + 43 = 6B

- Subtract 5B from both sides

∴ 43 = B

- Switch the two sides

∴ B = 43

To check the answer substitute the value of B in each side if the two sides are equal then the solution is right

The left hand side

∵ 5(43 + 3) = 5(46) = 230

The right hand side

∵ 4(43 - 7) + 2(43) = 4(36) + 86 = 144 + 86 = 230

∴ L.H.S = R.H.S

∴ The solution B = 43 is right

The solution is B = 43

A pile of sand in the shape of a cone has a diameter of 8 in. and a height of 5 in.
max2010maxim [7]

if it has a diameter of 8, that means its radius is half that, or 4.


\bf \textit{volume of a cone}\\\\
V=\cfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3}~~
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
h=height\\[-0.5em]

r=4\\
h=5
\end{cases}\implies V=\cfrac{\pi (4)^2(5)}{3}\implies V=\cfrac{80\pi }{3}

For the answer to the question above, I'll show my solution for the answer below.
Area A = pi r^2 
<span>The rate of change of area = d A/ d t = 2 pi r d r/d t </span>
<span>r= 2t, d r = 2 d t </span>
<span>This gives </span>
<span>d A/ d t = 2 pi 2t 2 d t = 8 pi t dt </span>
<span>Integrate it </span>
<span>A= 4 pi t^2. </span>
<span>After t=5, the area will be 100* 3.14 square= 314 square units.</span>
