Answer:

The number is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number = x

Given that:

Five times the result of adding one to a certain number, is equal to four times the number, plus three.

The equation will be:

5(x+1) = 4x +3

Simplifying

5x + 5 = 4x +3

Taking terms with x on left side and others on right side

5x - 4x = 3 - 5 (sign of transferred terms will be changed)

x = -2

Proof :

Condition 1:

number = -2

Add one = -2 +1 = -1
Multiply 5 = -5

Condition 2:

4 times of number = 4 (-2) = -8
Add 3 = -8 +3 = -5

Hence both conditions have same answer.

I hope it will help you!

What is the surface area of the cube, in square inches?

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

The surface area of the cube is 648.96 sq in.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is made a lot easier by the fact that it's a cube.

So we first calculate the area of one of the faces. The length of the side of the side is 10.4 inches, and 10.4 * 10.4 = 100.16.

There are six faces, so we multiply the area of 1 face by 6. 100.16 * 6 = 648.96.

Therefore, the surface area of the cube is 648.96 sq inches.

Can someone help with 5 please?

borishaifa [10]

The answer should be 8x^3-36x^2+54x-27
To get this you have to do (2x-3)(2x-3)(2x-3) and distribute through each parenthesis. Hope this helps

Express the integral as an iterated integral in six different ways, where E is the solid bounded by y=4-x^2-4z^2 and y=0

zmey [24]

Assuming you need the integral expressing the volume of $E$ , the easiest setup is to integrate with respect to $y$ first.

This is done with either

$\displaystyle\iiint_E\mathrm dV=\int_{-2}^2\int_{-2}^2\int_0^{4-x^2-z^2}\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dz$
$\displaystyle\iiint_E\mathrm dV=\int_{-2}^2\int_{-2}^2\int_0^{4-x^2-z^2}\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dz\,\mathrm dx$

Thanks to symmetry, integrating with respect to either $x$ or $z$ first will be nearly identical.

First, with respect to $x$ :

$\displaystyle\iiint_E\mathrm dV=\int_{-2}^2\int_0^4\int_{-\sqrt{4-y-z^2}}^{\sqrt{4-y-z^2}}\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dz$
$\displaystyle\iiint_E\mathrm dV=\int_0^4\int_{-2}^2\int_{-\sqrt{4-y-z^2}}^{\sqrt{4-y-z^2}}\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dz\,\mathrm dy$

Next, with respec to $z$ :

$\displaystyle\iiint_E\mathrm dV=\int_{-2}^2\int_0^4\int_{-\sqrt{4-y-z^2}}^{\sqrt{4-y-x^2}}\mathrm dz\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dx$
$\displaystyle\iiint_E\mathrm dV=\int_0^4\int_{-2}^2\int_{-\sqrt{4-y-z^2}}^{\sqrt{4-y-x^2}}\mathrm dz\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy$
