Solve equation [1] for the variable x [1] x=(3y+6)

Plug this in or variable x in equation [2]

[2] 2(-3y+6)-y= 10

[2] -7y=-2

// solve equation [2] for the variable y

[2] 7y= 2

[2] y=2/7

By now we know this much

X= -3y+6

Y=2/7

Use the y value to solve for x

X=-3(2/7)+6=36/7

(x,y)=(36,7), (2/7)

The surface area of a sphere is decreasing at the constant rate of 3π sq. cm/sec . At what rate is the volume of the sphere decr

olga nikolaevna [1]

Whooh

SA=4pir²
take derivitive
dSA/dt=8pir dr/dt

and do the volume as well
V=(4/3)pir³
dV/dt=4pir² dr/dt

we need to solve for dV/dt
to do taht we need dr/dt
so

dSA/dt=8pir dr/dt
given dSA/dt=3pi cm/sec
r=2
3pi=8pi2 dr/dt
3=16 dr/dt
3/16=dr/dt

now do the volume
dV/dt=4pir² dr/dt
r=2
dr/dt=3/16
dV/dt=4pi2² (3/16)
dV/dt=16pi(3/16)
dV/dt=3pi

nice
the volume of the sphere is decreasing at 3pi cm/sec as well

Ax + bx - 15 = 0;x<br> How do you solve this?

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$ax+bx-15=0\\=> (a+b)x-15=0\\=>(a+b)x=15\\=>x=\frac{15}{(a+b)}$
