Answer:

x= -9

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x - 3) + 1 = 3x + 4

2x-6+1=3x+4

2x-5=3x+4

-2x -2x

-5=x+4

-4 -4

-9=x

Hope this helps! ;)

the sum of two numbers is 3 3/4 if 1/3 of the larger number is 1/2 more than 2/3 of the smaller find the number

Agata [3.3K]

Let us assume the larger number = x
Let us assume the smaller number = y
Then
x + y = 3 3/4
x + y = 15/4
And
x/3 = (2y/3) + 1/2
x = [3 * (2y/3)] + (3/2)
= 2y + (3/2)
Now putting the value of x from the second equation to the first , we get
x + y = 15/4
2y + (3/2) + y = 15/4
3y = (15/4) - (3/2)
3y = (15 - 6)/4
3y * 4 = 9
12y = 9
y = 9/12
   = 3/4
Now putting the value of y in the first equation, we get
x + y = 15/4
x + (3/4) = (15/4)
x = (15/4) - (3/4)
   = (15 - 3)/4
   = 12/4
   = 3
So the value of x or the larger number is 3 and the value of y or the smaller number is 3/4.

Each container must hold exactly 1 litre of water Each container must have a minimum surface area

Arada [10]

The containers must be spheres of radius = 6.2cm

<h3>How to minimize the surface area for the containers?</h3>

We know that the shape that minimizes the area for a fixed volume is the sphere.

Here, we want to get spheres of a volume of 1 liter. Where:

1 L = 1000 cm³

And remember that the volume of a sphere of radius R is:

$V = \frac{4}{3}*3.14*R^3$
