Answer:

x = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

6s² = 1944

Total area is given to be 1944

Since s = x - 5,

6(x - 5)² = 1944

Divide both sides by 6

(x - 5)² = 324

Square root both sides

x - 5 = +/- 18

Solve for x

x = 18 + 5 = 23

x = -18 + 5 = -13 (not possible because lengths can't be negative)

So, x = 23

Answer:

x = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the surface area of a cube is denoted by S = 6s². In this case, we see that s = x - 5, so just plug x - 5 in for s in the formula:

S = 6(x - 5)²

We also know that the surface area is 1944, so S = 1944. Plug this in as well:

S = 6(x - 5)²

1944 = 6(x - 5)²

Now, we solve by expanding the right:

1944 = 6(x² - 10x + 25) = 6x² - 60x + 150

Subtract 1944 from both sides:

6x² - 60x - 1794 = 0

Divide by 6 from both sides for simplicity:

x² - 10x - 299 = 0

Factor:

(x - 23)(x + 13) = 0

x = 23 or x = -13

Obviously, we can't have a negative length, so -13 is wrong. We use x = 23 instead.

The answer is thus x = 23.

Sergio039 [100]

The answer is 0.24

To calculate this, a multiplication rule is used. The multiplication rule calculates the probability that both of two events will occur. In this method, the probabilities of each event are multiplied. Here we have two events:

1. The probability that the pianist will be a boy,

2. The probability that the alternate will be a girl.

So, let's calculate these probabilities:

There are in total 5 children:

2 boys + 3 girls = 5 children.

1. The probability that the pianist will be a boy is 2 boys out of 5 children, which is 2/5.

2. The probability that the alternate will be a girl is 3 girls out of 5 children, which is 3/5.

The probability that the pianist will be a boy and the alternate will be a girl is:

2/5 × 3/5 = 6/25

6/25 × 4/4 = 24/100 = 0.24

Nolan rides his bike 63 miles in 270 minutes. What is his average speed in miles per hour?

s2008m [1.1K]

63 miles in 270 minutes will mean that nolan rides his bike at a distance of 63/270 miles in one minute.
there are 60 minutes in an hour. So to find out the distance he covers in 1 hour, 63/270 × 60 will give you 14 miles.
Since the question is asking for the average speed, nolan rides his bike at 14 miles per hour i think.

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The answer is "Yes".

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, the answer is "yes" because as the sample group of 50, it is now under the population size of 10 percent, and Often the random sample is less than 30. It doesn't require the standard deviation, and for each of the samples it was selected randomly, therefore randomization becomes achieved.

One inlet pipe can fill an empty pool in 6 hours, and a drain can empty the pool in 12 hours. How long will it take the pipe to

Ainat [17]

Answer: 12 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = time it takes to fill the pool if the inlet pipe and drain pipe are both open

1/6 = portion of pool filled per hour by the inlet pipe

1/12 = portion of pool emptied per hour by the drain

1/x = portion of pool filled per hour if the inlet pipe and drain are both open

Then, 1/6 - 1/12 = 1/x

Multiply by the LCD, 12x, to obtain

2x - x = 12

x = 12 hours
