Answer:

A- X= 20÷5-3

B- 20÷5=4; 4-3=1

C- X=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, well we have to work backwards. 20 cookies, and she makes 5 bags. We need to find out what 'x' means. To do that, we take 20 cookies and divide it by 5. 4 cookies. Then we want to take 3 cookies out of each bag to find out how many cookies she first put in. 1 cookie.

Let's check:

bag 1:

o (one cookie)

bag 2:

o (one cookie)

bag 3:

o (one cookie)

bag 4:

o (one cookie)

bag 5:

o (one cookie)

Now we have 15 cookies left. Now let's put 3 in each:

bag 1:

o (one cookie)

v v v ( three cookies)

bag 2:

o (one cookie)

v v v ( three cookies)

bag 3:

o (one cookie)

v v v ( three cookies)

bag 4:

o (one cookie)

v v v ( three cookies)

bag 5:

o (one cookie)

v v v ( three cookies)

Now we have no cookies left, and we put 4 cookies in each. (o representing the first cookie, v representing the next three cookies)

Answer:

a. 20 = 5x + 15

b. x = 1

c. X represents the number of cookies before three more were added to each bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. 20 is your total, or y. 5 is the amount of bags, with "x" cookies. Three more cookies are added to EACH bag, so 3*5 is 15. If you do it in slope-intercept form, the equation is 20(y)= 5x + 15 (added cookies).

b. 20 = 5x + 15

20 - 15 = 5x + 15 - 15

5 = 5x

5/5 = x

x = 1

c. Remember that x is the amount of cookies in each bag before three more were added. If you add the amount before more were added (1), and the amount added (3), you get 4. Then, you multiply the total amount of cookies in each bag and the number of bags (4*5), you get 20, which the problem says is the total number of cookies in all the bags.

hope this helps :)

What is the volume of a sphere with a radius of 7 cm? Sphere V = 4 3 πr3 1. Substitute the radius into the formula:    V = 4 3 π
netineya [11]

Answer:

1436.75504 or 1372/3π cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a sphere can be found using:

V = 4/3 πr^3

We know the radius is 7, so we can substitute 7 in for r

V = 4/3 π7^3

Evaluate the exponent

V = 4/3 π 343

If we want the answer in terms of pi, multiply the two other numbers, that are not pi: 4/3 and 343.

v= (4/3*343)π

v=1372/3π

If we want an exact answer, multiply 1372/3 and pi

v=1436.75504

So, the volume is 1436.75504 or 1372/3 π cm^3
