Step-by-step explanation:

let us start with

Molly's equation

15x + 10 = 100

solving for x we have

15x=100-10

15x=90

x=90/15

x=6

Maddie's equation

15x - 10 = 100

solving for x we have

15x=100+10

15x=120

x=120/15

x=8

well, from the solution niether of them is correct

A sphere with a diameter of 30 inches is placed in a cube. The sphere touches the lateral faces
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

a) 30 inches × 30 inches × 30 inches

b) 27,000 inches³

c) 14,130 inches³

d) 12,870 inches³

Step-by-step explanation:

Edge of the cube = diameter = 30 inches

Volume of cube = s³

30³ = 27000 inches³

Radius = 30/2 = 15

Volume of sphere:

(4/3) × 3.15 × 15³

14130 inches³

Difference:

27000 - 14130

12870 inches³
