Hello,

p = -6 * 7 / 3 = -14

The goal is to isolate the variable p, right?

Lets write this out:

3/7 p = -6

We need to move 3/7 to the other side so that p can be isolated, lets do that.

3/7 ÷ 3/7 p = -6 ÷ 3/7

How does this work? Why did I do it to both sides?

When I divided 3/7 by 3/7 they canceled out, because whenever you divide something by itself it equals 1.

I divided -6 by 3/7 because because there is an equal sign, and a rule of thumb is that<u> whatever you do on one side of the equation, you do to the other.</u>

Now we have the equation:

p = -6 ÷ 3/7

therefore p = -14

Hope I was of use.

Cheers,

Find the surface are of the cylinder in terms of pi

Andrej [43]

Hello!

To find the surface area of a cylinder you use the equation

$SA = 2 \pi rh + 2 \pi r^{2}$

SA is surface area
r is radius
h is height

PUt in the values you know

$SA = 2 \pi (7)(18) + 2 \pi * 7^{2}$

Square the number

$SA = 2 \pi (7)(18) + 2 \pi * 49$

Multiply 7 and 18

$SA = 2 \pi * 126 + 2 \pi * 49$

Multiply 126 by 2

$SA = 252 \pi + 2 \pi * 49$

Multiply the 49 by 2

$SA = 252 \pi + 98 \pi$

Add

$SA = 350 \pi$

The answer is $A)350 \pi cm^{2}$

Hope this helps!

Pat is required to sell candy bars to raise money for the 6th grade field trip. There is a 40% chance of him selling a candy bar

labwork [276]

Answer:

It will take him about 13 houses to sell the 5 candy bars.

Pat has an 18% chance of selling his last candy in the 11th house.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Pat is required to sell candy bars to raise money for the 6th grade field trip, and there is a 40% chance of him selling a candy bar at each house, and he has to sell 5 candy bars in all, to determine the number of houses it takes and determine the probability he sells his last candy bar at the 11th house, the following calculations must be performed:

5 / 0.40 = X

12.5 = X

So, it will take him about 13 houses to sell the 5 candy bars.

5/11 = X

0.45 = X

0.45 x 0.4 = 0.18

Thus, Pat has an 18% chance of selling his last candy in the 11th house.
