Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=-\dfrac{1}{5}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{a-x}{x-a}=5x\\\\\dfrac{(a-x)}{-(a-x)}=5x\qquad\text{cancel}\ (a-x)\\\\-1=5x\qquad\text{divide both sides by 5}\\\\-\dfrac{1}{5}=\dfrac{5x}{5}\to\boxed{x=-\dfrac{1}{5}}$

The radius of the cylinder's base is 8, so the volume of the cylinder is $\pi8^218\approx3617.28$ (using the approximation of $\pi\approx3.14$ ).

The sphere has radius 6, so the volume of the sphere is $\dfrac43\pi6^3\approx904.32$ .

The volume of the shaded region is the difference between the two: 3617.28 - 904.32 = 2712.96. Rounded to the nearest integer gives an answer of 2713.
