Answer:

$\text{The solution is }x \leq -1\text{ or }x > 6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the two inequalities

$5x - 10 > 20\text{ or }5x - 10 \leq -15$

we have to solve the above two for x.

$5x - 10 > 20$

Adding 10 on both sides

$5x>20+10$

$5x>30$

Divide throughout by 5, we get

$x>\frac{30}{5}=6$

$\text{second inequality:}\thinspace 5x - 10 \leq -15$

$5x - 10 \leq -15$

Adding 10 on both sides

$5x \leq -15+10$

$5x\leq -5$

$x \leq -1$

hence, the solution is

$x \leq -1\text{ or }x > 6$

which is required solution.

What’s the length of a box with a volume of 720 cubic inches, a width of 15 inches, and a height of 4 inches? (Hint: Isolate the

Tom [10]

Box volume = height * width * length. In this problem we want the length, so we solve the given equation for length:

720 in^3

length = -------------------- = 12 in

(15 in)(4 in)

The box is 12 inches long.

Cylinders A and B are similar. The volume of cylinder A is 20mm3. Calculate the volume of cylinder B.

MrRa [10]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

Cylinders A and B are similar. The length of the cylinder A is 4 mm and the length of cylinder B is 6 mm. The volume of cylinder A is 20mm3. Calculate the volume of cylinder B.

Answer:

67.5 $mm^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Cylinder A and cylinder B are similar.

Let volume of cylinder A = 20 $mm^3$

We know the volume of a cylinder is given by V = $\pi r^2 h$

where, r is the radius of the cylinder

h is the height of the cylinder

We have to find the scale factor.

The length scale factor is = $\frac{6}{4}$

$=\frac{3}{2}$

Area scale factor $=\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^2$

$=\frac{9}{4}$

∴ Volume scale factor $=\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^3$

$=\frac{27}{8}$

Therefore, the volume of cylinder B is $=20 \times \frac{27}{8}$

= 67.5 $mm^3$

Answer:

-17

Step-by-step explanation:

Every number x goes up, the f(x) goes up by 9. -8+9=1 and 1+9=10. Therefore if the number goes down, you subtract. -8-9=-17
