Each mixed number has to be converted to an improper fraction first. Then convert to common denominators.

= 8 5/6 - 2 4/9
convert to improper fractions

= 53/6 - 22/9
find common denominators; both denominators go into 18

= 159/18 - 44/18
subtract numerators

= 115/18
convert back to mixed number

= 6 7/18

ANSWER: 6 7/18

Hops this helps! :)

Answer: $(x-2)^2 + (y+3)^2 = 36\\\\$

Work Shown:

$(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2\\\\(x-2)^2 + (y-(-3))^2 = 6^2\\\\(x-2)^2 + (y+3)^2 = 36\\\\$

Note that (h,k) = (2,-3) is the center and r = 6 is the radius. The last line is not expanded out using the FOIL rule because its common practice to leave it in $(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2\\\\$ form. This form allows the reader to quickly determine the center and radius (rather than have to do a lot of algebraic steps before hand).

Note that the scale factor of B to A is (4 / 8) = 1/2

So....the volume of B =

Volume of A * (scale factor)^3 =

2720 * (1/2)^3 =

2720 * 1/8 =

340 cm^3

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

The correct answer is: Option D) 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is:

$3(x + 2) + x = 2x + 16$

In order to find that which values of x makes the equation true, we have to put each value of x in the equation. When both sides of equations will be equal, that value of x will be true for the equation.

Putting x = 2

$3(2 + 2) + 2 = 2(2) + 16\\3(4)+2 = 4+16\\12+2 = 20\\14 \neq 20$
