y = 3bx - 7x Factor out the x on the right side of the equation
y = x (3b - 7) Divide both sides (3b - 7)
y / (3b - 7) = x Switch the sides to make it easier to read
x = y / (3b - 7)
The correct answe is 4 & 19
Answer:
The dimensions of the can that will minimize the cost are a Radius of 3.17cm and a Height of 12.67cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of the Cylinder=400 cm³
Volume of a Cylinder=πr²h
Therefore: πr²h=400

Total Surface Area of a Cylinder=2πr²+2πrh
Cost of the materials for the Top and Bottom=0.06 cents per square centimeter
Cost of the materials for the sides=0.03 cents per square centimeter
Cost of the Cylinder=0.06(2πr²)+0.03(2πrh)
C=0.12πr²+0.06πrh
Recall: 
Therefore:



The minimum cost occurs when the derivative of the Cost =0.






r=3.17 cm
Recall that:


h=12.67cm
The dimensions of the can that will minimize the cost are a Radius of 3.17cm and a Height of 12.67cm.
72-12x=32-x
+12x +12x
72=32+11x

40=11x
/11 /11
x= 40/11 or 3.63 (repeating)
