The two tangent lines for each circle are the same length. Set the equations to equal and solve for x.

1. 4x + 3 = 3x +12

Subtract 3x from each side:

x +3 = 12

Subtract 3 from both sides:

x = 9

2. -2 + x = 2x -7

Subtract 2x from both sides:

-2 - x = -7

Add 2 to each side:

-x = -5

Multiply both sides by -1:

x = 5

The basketball shown is packaged in a box that is in the shape of a cube. The edge length of the box is equal to the diameter of

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

See example below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a ball is found using the formula V = 4/3πr³. In this example, you know the volume is 4500π. Substitute V = 4500π and solve for r.

4500π = 4/3πr³

4500 = 4/3r³

3375 = r³

15 = r

This means the diameter of the ball is 30.

Since the box had the same side length as the diameter, this means the volume of the box is V = 30*30*30 = 27,000.

Tapiwa swept 5%, percent more leaves than Adam. Tapiwa swept 357 liters of leaves.

dusya [7]

the answer is 17.85 leaves because you first turn 5% into a decimal then you multiply it by 357 and get 17.85 so Adam swept 17.85 liters of leaves in total im sorry if i got it wrong o~o
