Answer:
answer is D from what I got
EXPLANATION
If the volume of the cone is of V=448m^3 and it is dilated by a scale factor of 1/4, the resulting volume would be as shown as follows:
Since both equations are equal to y you can just make them equal to each other, like this 3x + 7 = x - 9. From there isolate the varible x on one side so that the solution will be on the other side of the equation. I'll do the steps too for you.
3x + 7 = x - 9
2x + 7 = -9
2x = -16
x = -8
Hope this helps :)
<span>length = 7x
</span><span>width = 2x
2(7x + 2x) = 72
7x + 2x = 72/2
9x = 36
x = 36/9
x = 4

width = 2x = 2 * 4 = 8 units<span>
