Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) determine what we know. We know that...

a) 156 total messages were sent

b) Jim sent 6 less that carmen

c) reuben sent 4 times as many as jim

2) create an equation with the information we know

(J= amount of messages jim sent, R= amount of messages reuben sent and C= amount of messages carmen sent)

(jim)         (reuben)     (carmen)    (total)

C - 6     +    J(4)    +    C            = 156

Now, isolate "C" on one side of the "="

3) add 6 to both sides of the equation:

C - 6 + J(4) + C =156

   -6                  -6

C + J(4) + C = 150

4) Combine like terms. In this case, combine the two Cs into Cx2:

C(2) +J(4) = 150

5) subtract "J(4)" from both sides of the "="

C(2) + J(4) = 150

        -J(4)     -J(4)

C(2) = 150 - J(4)

6) to isolate just 1 C, divide everything by 2

{C(2) = 150 - J(4)} ÷ 2

C = 75 - J(2)

7) Go back to our original equation (in bold) and replace "C" with "75 - J(2)"

(75-J(2)-6) + J(4) + (75-J(2)) = 156

Now solve for J.

Thats as far as I got.

3) What is 3x +15y=-16 in slope intercept form?
stellarik [79]

Answer:

y=-1/5x-16/15

Step-by-step explanation:

slope intercept form y=mx+b

3x+15y=-16

15y=-3x-16 divide both sides by 15

y=-3/15x-16/15   simplify -3/15 to -1/5

y=-1/5x-16/15

The height of a cone is two times its base diameter. What is the volume of the cone in terms of its base radius r? V = r2 V = r3
Gnom [1K]
So hmm check the picture below

the radius "r" is half the diameter, meaning, the diameter is 2r long
now, if the height "h" is twice "d" or 2d, then that means h = 2(2r)

thus    \bf \textit{volume of a cone}\\\\&#10;V=\cfrac{\pi r^2 h}{3}\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;h=height\\&#10;r=radius\\&#10;------\\&#10;h=2(2r)&#10;\end{cases}\implies V=\cfrac{\pi r^2[2(2r)]}{3}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;V=\cfrac{4\pi r^3}{3}
