<span>Lets find the volume of a cylinder with a diameter D=10 inches and lenght L= 20 inches. First we need to notice that the diameter is twice the size of the radius: D=2r. Then we write the equation for the volume of the cylinder. it is the base times the height: V=pi*r^2 * L. Now we input the nubmers in the equation: V=3.14*(D/2)^2 * L where r=D/2=5 inches and after calculating we get: V=1570 inches^3</span>
X = pencils, y = pens
8x + 6y = 8.50
4x + 4y = 5.....multiply by -2
----------------
8x + 6y = 8.50
-8x - 8y = -10 (result of multiplying by -2)
-----------------add
-2y = - 1.50
y = -1.50 / -2
y = 0.75 <=== pens cost 0.75
4x + 4y = 5
4x + 4(0.75) = 5
4x + 3 = 5
4x = 5 - 3
4x = 2
x = 2/4
x = 0.50 <== pencils cost 0.50
10⁻⁵ is the same number as 1 / 10⁵ .
