It is estimated that there are 10^20 grains of sand on a beach in Florida in April. The beach is heavily eroded by tourists over

the peak summer holiday season. Approximately one hundredth of the beach is removed as a result of this erosion. How many grains of sand are removed from the beach?

\bf \textit{how much is }\frac{1}{100}\quad of \quad 10^{20}?\implies \stackrel{\textit{one hundredth}}{\cfrac{1}{100}}\cdot 10^{20}\implies \cfrac{1}{10^2}\cdot 10^{20}
\\\\\\
10^{-2}\cdot 10^{20}\implies 10^{-2+20}\implies 10^{18}
\\\\\\
1,000,000,000,000,000,000~grains

2x+14= -21-5x<br> Need to find out what x is but a step by step explanation please
adoni [48]
Notice how on both sides of the equation there is one coefficient (number being multiplied by x) and a constant (just a plain number). You want all constants to be on one side and all coefficients on the other. He’s how do to that:
2x+14=-21-5
I am choosing that all constants will be on the right side, so I will do the inverse operation of any constant on the left side to remove it. Here, a constant on the left side is 14. I will subtract 14 from both sides of the equation. Positive 14 minus 14 is zero, so it cancels out and removes it.
2x+14-14 = -21-5x
2x = -35-5x
See how the 14 is now gone? The equation looks much simpler now. Okay next, you can see that there is a coefficient on the “constant side” that I’ve chosen, so I am going to remove that. Negative 5 plus positive 5 equals zero. Do this on both sides of the equation.
2x+5x = -35-5x+5x
7x = -35
Now the equation is just two numbers. All that is left to do is divide by the last coefficient, 7, in this case.
7x/7 = -35/7
x = -5

Andrew [12]

Answer:

area = 138 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

radius of large circle = 12 m

radius of small circle = 10 m

large circle area = πr² = (3.14)(12²) = 452.16 m²

small circle area = πr² = (3.14)(10²) =314 m²

452.16 - 314 = 138.16 m²
