The answer is $0.55

$8.50 is 100%.
x is 6.5%

8.50 : 100% = x : 6.5%
x = 8.50 : 100% * 6.5%
x = 0.5525
x ≈ $0.55

alex41 [277]

Solving for a variable in an equation means, we are changing the subject of formula of the equation.

The equation of r is: $\mathbf{r = \sqrt{\frac{3V}{\pi h}}}$

The equation is given as:

$\mathbf{V = \frac 13 \pi r^2h}$

We start by multiplying both sides by 3

$\mathbf{V \times 3= \frac 13 \pi r^2h \times 3}$

Rewrite as:

$\mathbf{3V= \pi r^2h}$

Divide both sides by $\mathbf{\pi h}$

$\mathbf{\frac{3V}{\pi h}= \frac{\pi r^2h}{\pi h}}$

Cancel out common factors

$\mathbf{\frac{3V}{\pi h}= r^2}$

Take square roots of both sides

$\mathbf{\sqrt{\frac{3V}{\pi h}}= \sqrt{r^2}}$

Evaluate the right-hand sides

$\mathbf{\sqrt{\frac{3V}{\pi h}}= r}$

Make r the subject

$\mathbf{r = \sqrt{\frac{3V}{\pi h}}}$

Hence, the resulting equating for r is:

$\mathbf{r = \sqrt{\frac{3V}{\pi h}}}$

Answer:

44 units

Step-by-step explanation:

TS = TQ

2x + 8 = 40

2x = 32

x = 16

QV = SV

QV = 3x - 4

QV = 3(16) - 4

QV = 48 - 4

QV = 44

Hey pls help !!! worth 25 points

amm1812

Start with the point-slope form: $y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)$ .

Then you substitue in the slope and coordinates from the point:

$y-5 = 2(x-(-7))$

You don't do a lot of clean up to the form, with the exception of turning "minus negative 7" into "plus 7".

$y-5 = 2(x+7)$

Thar be yer answer!
