Answer:

-10

Step-by-step explanation:

expand: 3x-12>5x+2

subtract 3x and subtract 2 to both sides

-14>2x

which is just

2x<-14

so x<-7.

the only value is -10. :D

Answer:

-10

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x – 4) > 5x + 2

Distribute

3x -12 > 5x+2

Subtract 3x from each side

3x-12-3x > 5x-3x+2

-12 > 2x+2

Subtract 2 from each side

-12 -2 > 2x+2-2

-14 > 2x

Divide by 2

-14/2 > 2x/2

-7 > x

X must be less than -7

-10 is less than -7

What the closest volume of a cylinder with a height of 10 and a circumference of 8

jenyasd209 [6]

In order to calculate the volume of a cylinder, we can use the following formula:

$V=\pi r^2h$

Where r is the base radius and h is the height.

If the circumference is 8, we have:

$\begin{gathered} C=2\pi r \\ 8=2\pi r \\ r=\frac{4}{\pi} \end{gathered}$

Now, calculating the volume, we have:

$\begin{gathered} V=\pi(\frac{4}{\pi})^2\cdot10 \\ V=\frac{160}{\pi} \\ V=50.93 \end{gathered}$

So the correct option is the second one.
