Its a simultaneous equation:
lets make "x" the used games and "y" the new ones

4x + 2y = 84
6x + y = 78. (multiply this by 2 to cancel out y)
12x + 2y = 156

so now we subtract them:
12x - 4x = 156 - 84
x = 9
used games cost $9
new games cost 78 - 6(9) = $24

Janet has $120 but she already bought 3 NEW games so:
120 - 3(24) = $48 left

48/9 = how many used ones she can buy = 5. something

she can buy 5 used

Bacteria can multiply at an alarming rate when each bacteria splits into two new cells, thus doubling. If we start with only one

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

2^24 = 16,777,216 bacterias.

Step-by-step explanation:

So we start with 1 bacteria

after 1 hours: 2*1 = 2

after 2 hours: 2*2 = 2^2 = 4

after 3 hours: 2*2^2 = 2^3

after n hours: 2^n

Since one day has 24 hours we have n = 24 and total number of bacteria will

be: 2^24 = 16,777,216 bacterias.

Find the volume of a cone with a base radius of 6 cm and a height of 10 cm write in terms of pie

Savatey [412]

Answer:

Volume of the cone is 120 π cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Base radius of cone is 6 cm and height is 10 cm and we need to find volume of the cone. Volume of cone is given by:

$\\ \: \: \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \underline{\boxed{\pmb{\sf{Volume_{(cone)} = \dfrac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h }}}} \\ \\$

On Substituting the required values, we get:

$\\ \: \: \dashrightarrow \: \: \sf \: Volume_{(cone)} = \frac{1}{3} \times \pi \times {(6)}^{2} \times 10 \\ \\ \\ \: \: \dashrightarrow \: \: \sf \: Volume_{(cone)} = \frac{1} {\cancel{3}} \times \pi \times \cancel{36} \times 10 \\ \\ \\ \: \: \dashrightarrow \: \: \sf \: Volume_{(cone)} = \pi \times 12 \times 10 \\ \\ \\ \: \: \dashrightarrow \: \: \sf \: \: { \purple{Volume_{(cone)} =120 \pi \: cm^3 }}\\ \\$

Volume of a cone is 120 π cm³
