Simplify the given equation. 5x + 2(x - 3) = -2(x - 1)

1 answer:

8 0

On the left side, distribute the 2 to x and -3 so the left side should look like 5x+2x-6.

on the right, distribute the -2 to x and -1 so the right side should look like -2x+2.

combine like terms on the left to get 7x-6=-2x+2

add -2x from the right side to the left side to make the equation 9x-6=2 now it's a two step equation.
add 6 to 2 to get 9x=8. divide by 9 and x=8/9.

Given a cone with a height of 6 cm and a base diameter of 6 cm, what is the volume of the cone? Use 3.24 for π

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

56.52

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the formula for the volume of a cone is V = (1/3)*π*r^2*h, we need to multiply the fraction 1/3, the value of pi (assuming you meant 3.14), the radius squared, and the height together to get the volume. Diameter is radius times 2, so to find the radius, multiply the diameter by .5, ending up with 3. 3^2 is 9. 1/3*3.14*9*6 is equal to 56.52.
