0.25 (16x + 12) + 2x = 33
4x+3+2x=33
subtract 3 from both sides
6x=30
divide
6x/6=30/6
x=5

.25(16x + 12) + 2x = 33
The first step is to distribute the .25 to what's inside the parentheses!
((16x*.25) +(12*.25)) + 2x = 33
Simplify...
4x + 3 +2x = 33
Add like terms...
6x + 3 = 33
Subtract three from both sides
6x + 3 - 3 = 33 - 3
Simplify
6x = 30
Divide each side by six
6x/6 = 30/6
Simplify
x = 5
That's your answer; x = 5! Hope this helped :)

This robotic arm is made up of two cylinders with equal volume and two triangular prism hands. The volume of each hand is

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

$\frac{r}{3\pi h+r}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the height isn't given, we assume it to be "h" (of cylinders). And the answer will be in terms of "r" and "h".

The area of 1 arm is given, so the area of 2 arms would be:

$A_{arm}=2*(\frac{1}{2}r*\frac{1}{3}r*2r)=\frac{2r^3}{3}$

Now, area of 2 cylinders would be the formula:

$A_{cyl}=2*(\pi r^2 h)=2\pi r^2 h$

So, total area is A_arm PLUS A_cyl. The fractional area the arms are would be gotten by taking expression A_arm divided by A_total.

Shown below:

$\frac{A_{arm}}{A_{total}}=\frac{\frac{2r^3}{3}}{2\pi r^2 h + \frac{2r^3}{3}}$

We simplify further:

$\frac{\frac{2r^3}{3}}{2\pi r^2 h + \frac{2r^3}{3}}\\=\frac{\frac{2r^3}{3}}{2r^2(\pi h + \frac{r}{3})}\\=\frac{r}{3(\pi h + \frac{r}{3})}\\=\frac{r}{3\pi h+r}$
