First you have to get the equation into slope/intercept format: y = mx + b
So the slope m = 2, and the y-intercept b = -1.
b tells you where the line intersects the y axis. The slope is rise (vertical distance) over run (horizontal distance). I have attached my best attempt at drawing this without graph paper. The dotted line represents the inequality, and the solution set includes the values above the line which is why it is shaded. Hope this helps!
Think of the two pieces together as a single cone of height 19, and its volume.
Then think of only the upper piece as a cone, and find its volume.
The volume of the frustum is the total volume minus the volume of the upper piece.
The volume of a cone is:
Total volume:
Volume of upper cone:
Volume of frustum:
The city contributed $13,500; the county contributed $27,000; and the state contributed $54,000.
Let x be the amount the city contributes. Since the county contributes twice as much as the city, the county's amount is 2x. Since the state contributes twice as much as the county, the state's amount is 2(2x) = 4x.
They total 94,500:
x+2x+4x = 94500
7x = 94500
Divide both sides by 7:
x = 13500
2x = 27000
4x = 54000
7.7 is the greater decimal
