Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$3(x-4)-5=x-3\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\3x-12-5=x-3\\3x-17=x-3\qquad\text{add 17 to both sides}\\3x-17+17=x-3+17\\3x=x+14\qquad\text{subtract}\ x\ \text{from both sides}\\3x-x=x-x+14\\2x=14\qquad\text{divide both sides by 2}\\\dfrac{2x}{2}=\dfrac{14}{2}\\\\x=7$

What is the surface area of cone below Diameter AB=21 and distance from B to C =36

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

1533.88261311522

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Let r be the radius of the (base/circle)</em>

<em>and L be the slant height of the cone</em>

<em>Formula ………………………………………………………………………………………………………</em>

The surface area of a cone = the (curved/lateral) surface area + the base

$=\pi r^{2}\ \ \ +\ \ \ \pi Lr$

=========================================

$r=\frac{21}{2} =10.5$

L = BC = 36

$\text{surface area} =\pi \left( 10.5\right)^{2} +\pi \times 36\times \left( 10.5\right)$

$=346.360590058275 + 1187.52202305694$

$=1533.88261311522$

What are the solutions to m^2 – 9 = 0? a. m = –9 and m = 0 b. m = –3 and m = 3 c. m = –3 d. m = 9

marysya [2.9K]

2 ways
zero product property
easy way

zero product
factor perfect square
m^2-3^2=0
(m-3)(m+3)=0
set each to zero
m-3=0
x=3

m+3=0
m=-3

m=-3 or 3

easy way
add 9 to both sides
m^2=9
sqrt both sides remember to take postive and negative roots
m=+/-3
m=-3 or 3
