<span>the sum of two numbers is 17
write an equation
(x)+(2x+2)=17
solve for x
x+2x+2=17
3x+2=17</span>3x=15<span>x=5
Answer: first number is 5
solve for second number
2x+2=second number
2(5)+2=second number
10+2=12
Answer: second number is 12
check
12+5=17

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$\dfrac{dV}{dt}=5\:\text{cm}^3\text{/min}$

Find $\frac{dr}{dt}$ when diameter D = 20 cm.

We know that the volume of a sphere is given by

$V = \dfrac{4\pi}{3}r^3$

Taking the time derivative of V, we get

$\dfrac{dV}{dt} = 4\pi r^2\dfrac{dr}{dt} = 4\pi\left(\dfrac{D}{2}\right)^2\dfrac{dr}{dt} = \pi D^2\dfrac{dr}{dt}$

Solving for $\frac{dr}{dt}$ , we get

$\dfrac{dr}{dt} = \left(\dfrac{1}{\pi D^2}\right)\dfrac{dV}{dt} = \dfrac{1}{\pi(20\:\text{cm}^2)}(5\:\text{cm}^3\text{/min})$

$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:= 0.08\:\text{cm/min}$
