Answer:

The equation not represent a proportional relationship because the line don't passes through the origin

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form $k=\frac{y}{x}$ or $y=kx$

In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line <u><em>and the line passes through the origin</em></u>

In this problem we have

$y=3x+5$

This is the equation of the line in slope intercept form

where

the slope is m=5

the y-intercept is b=5

Remember that in a proportional relationship the value of b must be equal to zero (because the line passes through the origin)

therefore

The equation not represent a proportional relationship because the line don't passes through the origin

Alenkinab [10]

Reorder the terms: 2n + -5(5 + n) = 8n + 3(1 + -5n) 2n + (5 * -5 + n * -5) = 8n + 3(1 + -5n) 2n + (-25 + -5n) = 8n + 3(1 + -5n) Reorder the terms: -25 + 2n + -5n = 8n + 3(1 + -5n) Combine like terms: 2n + -5n = -3n -25 + -3n = 8n + 3(1 + -5n) -25 + -3n = 8n + (1 * 3 + -5n * 3) -25 + -3n = 8n + (3 + -15n) Reorder the terms: -25 + -3n = 3 + 8n + -15n Combine like terms: 8n + -15n = -7n -25 + -3n = 3 + -7n Solving -25 + -3n = 3 + -7n Solving for variable 'n'. Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '7n' to each side of the equation. -25 + -3n + 7n = 3 + -7n + 7n Combine like terms: -3n + 7n = 4n -25 + 4n = 3 + -7n + 7n Combine like terms: -7n + 7n = 0 -25 + 4n = 3 + 0 -25 + 4n = 3 Add '25' to each side of the equation. -25 + 25 + 4n = 3 + 25 Combine like terms: -25 + 25 = 0 0 + 4n = 3 + 25 4n = 3 + 25 Combine like terms: 3 + 25 = 28 4n = 28 Divide each side by '4'. n = 7 Simplifying n = 7

The cylinder shown has a lateral surface area of about 80 square inches. Which answer is closest to the height of the cylinder?

Radda [10]

Hello!

The cylinder shown has a lateral surface area of about 80 square inches. Which answer is closest to the height of the cylinder? Use 3.14 to approximate pi.

We have the following data:

Al (lateral surface area) = 80 in²

R (ratio) = 4 in

h (height) = ? (in inches)

Adopt : π ≈ 3.14

We apply the data to the formula, we have:

$A_l = 2*\pi*R*h$
