Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3(10 – 4x) + 6 = 12

first you need to use the distributive property

30 – 12x + 6 = 12

then subtract 6 from each side

30 – 12x = 6

then subtract 30 from each side

– 12x = -24

divide both sides by negative 12

x = 2

Wastewater is filling barrels at the rate of 11 quarts per hour. The recycling facility picks up 120 full barrels on each trip,

dalvyx [7]

(1 h)/(11 qt) * (12 qt)/(1 barrel) * (120 barrels/pickup) * (1 day)/(24 h)
.. = 12*120/(11*24) day/pickup
.. = 5 5/11 days/pickup

120 barrels will be filled every 5 5/11 days. Some trips will be 5 days apart, some trips will be 6 days apart.

The surface areas of two similar figures are 25 in2 and 36 in2. If the volume of the smaller figure is 250 in3, what is the volu

Slav-nsk [51]

Since the figures are similar, we can establish a rule of three as follows.
We know that the area of the smaller figure is $25in^{2}$ , and its volume is $250in^{3}$ . We also know that the area of the larger figure is $36in^{2}$ ; since we don't now its volume, lets represent it with $X$ :
$\frac{25in^{2}----\ \textgreater \ 250in^{3}}{36in^{2}----\ \textgreater \ Xin^{3}}$
$\frac{25}{36} = \frac{250}{X}$
$X= \frac{(250)(36)}{25}$
$X=360$

We can conclude that the volume of the larger figure is $360in^{3}$ ; therefore, the correct answer is a.
