Find a number which decreased by 12 equals 3 times it’s opposite

Mathematics
1 answer:
-BARSIC- [3]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The number is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : A number which decreased by 12 equals 3 times it’s opposite ?

Solution :

Let the number be 'x'.

It's opposite is '-x'.

A number which decreased by 12 equals 3 times it’s opposite

i.e. x - 12 = 3(-x)

Solving the equation,

x-12=-3x

x+3x=12

4x=12

x=\frac{12}{4}

x=3

Therefore, the number is 3.

three cones have a volume of 192π cm³.Cone A has a radius of 2 cm. Cone B has a radius of 3 cm. Cone C has a radius of 4 cm. fin
andrew11 [14]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  A: 144 cm

  B: 64 cm

  C: 36 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone is given by ...

  V = (1/3)πr²h

Solving for h, we get ...

  3V/(πr²) = h

Filling in the given values, we get ...

  3(192π)/(πr²) = h

  576/r² = h

Then the heights of the different cones are ...

  A: r = 2, h = 576/4 = 144 . . . cm

  B: r = 3, h = 576/9 = 64 . . . cm

  C: r = 4, h = 576/16 = 36 . . . cm

Thomas buys a cardboard sheet that is 8 by 12 inches. Let x be the side length of each cutout. Using complete sentences, explain
jasenka [17]

Answer: V = (12in - 2*x)*(8 in - 2*x)*x

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have a rectangular cardboard sheet, and we cut four squares of side length x in each corner so we can make a box.

Remember that for a box of length L, width W and height H, the volume is:

V = L*W*H

In this case, the length initially is 12 inches, but we remove (from each end) x inches of the length, then the length of the box will be:

L = 12 in - 2*x

For the width we have a similar case:

W = 8in - 2*x

And te height of the box will be equal to x, then:

H = x

This means that the volume is:

V = (12in - 2*x)*(8 in - 2*x)*x

Here we can see the connection between the cutout and the volume of the box

What are the missing angles? What is the relationship between the measures of supplementary angles?
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

6=100°

8=80°

7=100°

9=80°

Step-by-step explanation:

If 6 is 100°

in a straight line theres 180 degrees

180-100=80°

8 is 80°

opposite 6 to 7 there are parallel corresponding angles meaning the angle opposite it will be the same. 8 with 9.

same with

We know that
the law of sines establish
a/sin A=b/sin B

problem N 1

50/sin K=53/sin 76-------> 50*sin 76=53*sin K-----> sin K=50*sin 76/53
sin K=0.9154
K=arc sin (0.9154)--------> K=66.25°------> K=66°

the answer problem N 1 is the option
<span>c.) 66°
</span>
Problem N 2

30/sin R=35/sin 69------> sin R=30*sin 69/35-----> sin R=0.8002
R=arc sin(0.8002)-------> R=53.15°-----> R=53°

the answer problem N 2 is the option
<span>b.) 53°</span>
