Assume x = paperbook, y = hard cover books

x = 4y-3

$4y - 3 + y = 447 \\ 5y = 450 \\ y = 90$
The answer is A. 90

Hope this helps. - M

14x + 64 = <br><br> x = 3<br><br> What is the answer

Nostrana [21]

x = 3.

Plug in 3 for x in the equation

14(3) + 64

Remember to follow PEMDAS. First, multiply 3 with 14

3 x 14 = 42

Finally, add 64

42 + 64 = 106

106 is your answer

hope this helps

Find the equation of the sphere if one of its diameters has endpoints (4, 2, -9) and (6, 6, -3) which has been normalized so tha

Pavel [41]

Answer:

$(x - 5)^2 + (y - 4)^2 + (z - 6)^2 = 14$ .

(Expand to obtain an equivalent expression for the sphere: $x^2 - 10\,x + y^2 - 8\, y + z^2 - 12\, z + 63 = 0$ )

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance between these two endpoints:

$\begin{aligned}&\text{Distance}\cr &= \sqrt{\left(x_2 - x_1\right)^2 + \left(y_2 - y_1\right)^2 + \left(z_2 - z_1\right)^2} \cr &= \sqrt{(6 - 4)^2 + (6 - 2)^2 + ((-3) - (-9))^2 \cr &= \sqrt{56}}\end{aligned}$ .

Since the two endpoints form a diameter of the sphere, the distance between them would be equal to the diameter of the sphere. The radius of a sphere is one-half of its diameter. In this case, that would be equal to:

$\begin{aligned} r &= \frac{1}{2} \, \sqrt{56} \cr &= \sqrt{\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2 \times 56} \cr &= \sqrt{\frac{1}{4} \times 56} \cr &= \sqrt{14} \end{aligned}$ .

In a sphere, the midpoint of every diameter would be the center of the sphere. Each component of the midpoint of a segment (such as the diameter in this question) is equal to the arithmetic mean of that component of the two endpoints. In other words, the midpoint of a segment between $\left(x_1, \, y_1, \, z_1\right)$ and $\left(x_2, \, y_2, \, z_2\right)$ would be:

$\displaystyle \left(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2},\, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}, \, \frac{z_1 + z_2}{2}\right)$ .

In this case, the midpoint of the diameter, which is the same as the center of the sphere, would be at:

$\begin{aligned}&\left(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2},\, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}, \, \frac{z_1 + z_2}{2}\right) \cr &= \left(\frac{4 + 6}{2},\, \frac{2 + 6}{2}, \, \frac{(-9) + (-3)}{2}\right) \cr &= (5,\, 4\, -6)\end{aligned}$ .

The equation for a sphere of radius $r$ and center $\left(x_0,\, y_0,\, z_0\right)$ would be:

$\left(x - x_0\right)^2 + \left(y - y_0\right)^2 + \left(z - z_0\right)^2 = r^2$ .

In this case, the equation would be:

$\left(x - 5\right)^2 + \left(y - 4\right)^2 + \left(z - (-6)\right)^2 = \left(\sqrt{56}\right)^2$ .

Simplify to obtain:

$\left(x - 5\right)^2 + \left(y - 4\right)^2 + \left(z + 6\right)^2 = 56$ .

Expand the squares and simplify to obtain:

$x^2 - 10\,x + y^2 - 8\, y + z^2 - 12\, z + 63 = 0$ .

A large water tank holds 210 liters of water. About how many gallons of water does the same tank hold, if there are approximatel

shusha [124]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion

15 Liters / 4 gallons = 210 Liters / x Cross Multiply

15x = 4 * 210 Combine the right

15x = 840 Divide by 15

x = 840 / 15

x = 56 gallons
