Answer:

The smaller number equals 12, the larger number equals 51.

Step-by-step explanation:

x + (3x + 15) = 63

Combine like terms.

4x + 15 = 63

Subtract 15 from both sides.

4x + (15 -15) = (63 - 15)

4x = 48

Divide both sides by 4.

4x/4 = 48/4

x = 12

Check answer.

12 + (3(12) + 15) = 63

12 + 36 + 15 = 63

63 = 63

A company rents water tanks shaped like a cylinders. Each tank has a diameter of 12 feet and a height of 3 feet. The cost is $2

12345 [234]

Answer:

$\$678.58$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the volume of the tank

we know that

The volume of a cylinder (water tank) is equal to

$V=\pi r^{2}h$

in this problem we have

$r=12/2=6\ ft$ -----> the radius is half the diameter

$h=3\ ft$

substitute

$V=\pi (6^{2})(3)=339.29\ ft^{3}$

step 2

Find the cost

$339.29\ ft^{3}*2\frac{\$}{ft^{3}}=\$678.58$
