<h3>Answer:</h3>

The two numbers are 17 and 9.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<em>System of Equations</em>

Let x and y represent the first and second numbers, respectively.

... x - y = 8 . . . . . . . . . the difference of the two numbers is 8

... x = 2y - 1 . . . . . . . . .the first number is one less than twice the second

<em>Solution</em>

The second equation gives an expression for x that can be substituted into the first equation.

... (2y -1) -y = 8

... y -1 = 8 . . . . . . . collect terms

... y = 9 . . . . . . . . . add 1

... x = 2·9 -1 = 18 -1

... x = 17

The first number is 17; the second number is 9.

As part of a new advertising campaign, a beverage company wants to increase the dimensions of their cans by a multiple of 1.10.
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Question 1 ) Difference of Volume = 112.25 cm³

Question 2) Volume = 6400π feet³

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>As part of a new advertising campaign, a beverage company wants to increase the dimensions of their cans by a multiple of 1.10. If the cans are currently 12 cm tall, 6 cm in diameter, and have a volume of 339.12 cm3, how much more will the new cans hold? Use 3.14 for π and round your answer to the nearest hundredth.</h3>

Diameter = 6 cm

Radius = 3 cm

Height = 12 cm

If we increase the dimension by 1.10, new dimesnions are:

Radius = 3 · 1.1 = 3.3 cm

Height = 12 · 1.1 = 13.2 cm

Volume = (Area)(Height) = (πr²)(Height)

Volume = (π)(3.3²)(13.2)

Volume = 451.37 cm³

Difference of Volume = 451.37 cm³ - 339.12 cm³

Difference of Volume = 112.25 cm³

<h3>The circumference of a redwood tree trunk is 16π ft, and it is 100 ft tall. What is the approximate volume of the redwood tree trunk? </h3>

Circumference = 2πr = 16π = 2π(8) feet

Radius = 8 feet

Volume = Volume = (Area)(Height) = (πr²)(Height)

Volume = (π)((8²)(100)

Volume = 6400π feet³
