Answer:

p = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equality is p= -2p - 15p

Simplifying, p = (-2-15)p

=> p= -17p

Moving all the terms to the left hand side:

=> p + 17 p =0

=> 18 p =0

The only value of p for which this equality will hold is when p= 0/18 = 0

Validation:

Substituting p = 0 in the original equality:

p= -2p - 15p

LHS = p = 0

RHS = -2p - 15p

= -2*0 -15*0 = 0-0 = 0

So the two sides are equal and the equality is valid for p = 0.

The volume of a cylinder is 252π252π cm3 and its height is 7 cm.

kirill [66]

V = (pi) * r^2 * h
h = 7
V = 252(pi)

252(pi) = r^2 * 7
252(pi) / 7 = r^2
36(pi) = r^2
sqrt 36(pi) = r
6 = r <==== radius is 6 cm

-4r-8(r-6)=7(5r-1)+8

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

r = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we have to solve for the vallue of "r". We will use the distributive property shown below to ease our process.

Distributive Property:

a(b+c) = ab + ac

Now, lets solve this:

$-4r-8(r-6)=7(5r-1)+8\\-4r-8r+48=35r-7+8\\-12r+48=35r+1\\48-1=35r+12r\\47=47r\\r=\frac{47}{47}\\r=1$

As we have seen the value of r is "1"

Sasha can run at an average speed of 9 3/4 min/mi. She runs at this speed for 68 1/4 min.

miv72 [106K]

9 3/4 = 39/4 mi/m

68 1/4 = 273/4 min

39/4 mutiply by 273/4 = 10647 / 16 mi = 665.4 mi
