Anything between -3≤x<3
Those integers can be -2,-1,0,1 or 2
Let's say that in the beginning he weighted x and at the end he weighted x-y, y being the number of kg he wanted to loose.
first month he lost
y/3
then he lost:
(y-y/3)/3
this is
(2/3y)/3=2/9y
explanation: ((y-y/3) is what he still needed to loose: y minus what he lost already
and then he lost
(y-2/9y-1/3y)/3+3 (the +3 is his additional 3 pounts)
(y-2/9y-1/3y)/3-3=(7/9y-3/9y)/3+3=4/27y+3
it's not just y/3 because each month he lost one third of what the needed to loose at the current time, not in totatl
and the weight at the end of the 3 months was still x-y+3, 3 pounds over his goal weight!
so: x -y/3-2/9y-4/27y-3=x-y+3
we can subtract x from both sides:
-y/3-2/9y-4/27y-3=-y+3
add everything up:
-19/27y=-y+6
which means
-19/27y=-y+6
y-6=19/27y
8/27y=6
4/27y=3
y=20.25
so... that's how much he wanted to loose, but he lost 3 less than that, so 23.25
ps. i hope I didn't make a mistake in counting, let me know if i did. In any case you know HOW to solve it now, try to do the calculations yourself to see if they're correct!
Answer: The volume of the pipe is 412 cubic feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:
Volume of a cylinder = π x radius² x height (Length in this case)
Replacing with the values given:
V = 3.14 (2.5)² 21 = 3.4 (6.25) 21 = 412.12 = 412 cubic feet (rounded)
In conclusion, the volume of the pipe is 412 cubic feet
Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
Y=2,137.00-(15.15*X)+(33.09*X)
Its simple arithmetic when you get down to it. The $2,137 won't change because it is the base rate per month, meaning even if they don't make any units they will still earn that much in the month. You subtract from that the cost to make a unit, in this case it is $15.15 per unit, so you multiply the cost by number of units to get the month's total costs. Then add the total month's profits by multiplying the number of units by the profits of one unit.

-20-(-5)(-4)
-20-(20)
