V =

where r is radius and h is height
so when radius is (x+8) and height is (2x+3),
volume =
Coordinate form is (x,y) using the variables respectively.
2x+2y=-2
-2y
2x= -2-2y
/2
x=-1-y
9x-6y=36
9 (-1-y)-6y=36
-9-9y-6y=36
+9.
-9y-6y=45
-15y=45
/-15
y=-3
x=-1-y
x=-1- (-3)
x=2
answer: (2,-3)
66 Diners promised to participate
1,013 is what each restaurant would donate
947 + x = 683 + 5x
-683 -683
264 + x = 5x
- x -x
264 = 4x
Divide 264 by 4 = 66
answer to the problem is x=2/3
