</span><span><span><span><span>‌<span>6/5</span></span>‌y</span>+<span><span>‌<span>18/5</span></span>‌ </span></span>=4

</span>Add (-18)/5 to both sides

<span><span><span>‌<span>6/5</span></span>‌y</span>=<span>‌<span>2/<span>5

divide both sides by 6/5

y = 1/3

substitute 1/3 for y in x = -2/5y +6/5 to solve for x

x = -2/5(1/3) +6/5

x = 16/15

so x = 16/15 and y = 1/3
 now replace both x and Y in each of the original equations to check the answers:

5(16/15) +2(1/3) =  5 1/3 + 2/3 = 6  true

3(16/15) - -12/5(1/3) = 4 true
 so they are parallel

A cylinder with a radius of 12cm and a height of 20cm has the same volume as a cone with a radius of 8cm. What is the height of
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer: 135cm

Step-by-step explanation

Volume of a cylinder = πr²h

Volume of a cone. = 1/3πr²h

The two shapes are both solid shapes.

Since the have same volume, we can then equate the two together and solve for the height of the cone.

Now make H the height and R the radius of the cylinder and h the height and r the radius of the cylinder.

Now equating the two

πR²H = 1/3πr²h

Now substitute for the values now

Multiply through by 3

3πR²H = πr²h

But π is common so it could be obliterated from the equation

3R²H = r²h

3 x 12² x 20 = 8² x h

3 x 144 x 20 = 64 x h

60 x 144 = 64h

8640. = 64h

Therefore

h = 8640/64

= 135cm
