Elga's age is 50, and Alvin's age is 56. So, the sum of their ages is 106.

Let the age of Elga be x.

Age of Alvin = x + 6

Sum of ages = 106

x + x + 6 = 106

2x + 6 = 106

2x = 106 - 6

2x = 100

x = $\frac{100}{2}$

x = 50

Hence, Elga is 50 years old.

Dennis has three identical cylinders filled with water. How many cones should he be able to fill with the water if the cones

Brut [27]

Answer:

3 cylinder will fill 9 cones with water

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem bothers on mensuration of slides, cone and cylinder

We know that the

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

Volume of a cone = 1/3(πr²h)

Given that both cylinder and cone has same height and radius

From the given expression we can deduce that the cone is 3 times smaller than the cylinder in volume

So if 1 cylinder will fill 3 cones

Then 3 cylinders will fill x cones

By cross multiplication we have

x= 3*3cones

x= 9 cones

Hence 3 cylinder will fill 9 cones with water

What is 14=9-x I am trying to solve it

prisoha [69]

14 = 9 - x

First, subtract 9 from both sides.

14 - 9 = (9 - 9) - x
5 = -x

Now divide both sides by -1.
5/-1 = -1/-1x
-5 = x

The answer is x = -5.

The daily cost of producing x high performance wheels for racing is given by the following function, where no more than 100 whe

algol [13]

Answer:

The production would be 25 wheels,

Lowest average cost is $ 123.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Given cost function,

$C(x) = 0.09x^3 - 4.5x^2 + 180x$

Where,

x = number of wheel,

So, the average cost per wheel,

$A(x) = \frac{C(x)}{x}=\frac{0.09x^3-4.5x^2 + 180x}{x}=0.09x^2 - 4.5x + 180$

Differentiating with respect to x,

$A'(x) = 0.18x - 4.5$

Again differentiating with respect to x,

$A''(x) = 0.18$

For maxima or minima,

$A'(x) = 0$

$0.18x - 4.5 = 0$

$0.18x = 4.5$

$\implies x = \frac{4.5}{0.18}=25$

For x = 25, A''(x) = positive,

i.e. A(x) is maximum at x = 25.

Hence, the production would be 25 wheels for the lowest average cost per wheel.

And, lowest average cost,

A(x) = 0.09(25)² - 4.5(25) + 180 = $ 123.75
