Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
First subtract 9/4 from each side
1/2b=-2/4
Simplify the 2/4
1/2b=-1/2
Divide each side by 1/2
b = -1
The volume of the cylinder is equal to the sum of all spheres
the volume of 1 sphere is V1=4/3×pi×(1/2 x)³
simplified V1=1/6×pi×x²
we conclude that the volume of the cylinder is V2=270V1
V2=45×pi×x³
also the V2 can be calculated from the cylinder
V2= base(circle)×height
V2=(3x)²×pi×h=9x²×h
so we have
9x²×pi×h=45×pi×x³
simplified h=5x
Total volume of light-blue paint:

Divide by
to find how many containers he can divided this total into:

so the answer is B.
If a = 10, then the equation would be 10+6.
The answer would be 16.
