Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
To turn the word problem into an equation, when we read:
"I am thinking of a number" we write "x"
"when I double my number" we write "2x"
"and then subtract the result from 5" we write "5 - 2x"
"I get negative one" we write "-1 = 5 - 2x"
Now we solve for the number, which is x.
<em>Equation: </em>-1 = 5 - 2x
-1 = 5 - 2x
subtract 5 from both sides
-6 = -2x
divide both sides by -2
3 = x

There we go! The number is </h3><h2>
3</h2>
Answer:
0.05
Explanation:
Let x = the number
.05 = .1x
5/100 = (1/10)x Multiply both sides by 10.
5/10 = x
1/2 = x
The answer is D. THe last one.
I can't answer this question if we don't know by what scale the cylinder's radius was reduced. Luckily, I found the same problem that says the radius was reduced to 2/5. So, we find the ratio of both volumes.
V₁ = πr₁²h₁
V₂ = πr₂²h₂
where r₂ = 2/5*r₁ and h₂ = 4h₁
V₂/V₁ = π(2/5*r₁ )²(4h₁)/πr₁²h₁= 8/5 or 1.6
<em>Thus, the volume has increased more by 60%.</em>
