y = -1 + 3/8x

2x - 5y = 6

Substitute the first equation into the second equation, since y is already by itself.

2x - 5(-1 + 3/8x) = 6

2x + 5 - 15/8x = 6

2x - 15/8x = 1

16/8x - 15/8x = 1

1/8x = 1 Multiply 8 on both sides to get x by itself

x = 8

Plug x into either of the equations.

y = -1 + 3/8(8)

y = -1 + 3

y = 2

2(8) - 5y = 6

16 - 5y = 6

-5y = -10

y = 2

The height of a cone is equal to the diameter of the base. What expression represents the volume of the cone, in cubic units?

Maurinko [17]

By definition, the volume of a cone is given by:
$V = (1/3) * (\pi) * (r ^ 2) * (h)
$
Where,
r: radius of the circular base
h: height of the cone
Let's define a variable:
x: diameter of the base
We have then that the radio is:
$r = x / 2
$
The height is:
$h = x
$
Substituting values:
$V = (1/3) * (\pi) * ((x / 2) ^ 2) * (x)
$
Rewriting:
$V = (1/3) * (\pi) * (x ^ 2/4) * (x)

V = (1/12) * (\pi) * (x ^ 3)$
Answer:
An expression that represents the volume of the cone, in cubic units is:
$V = (1/12) * (\pi) * (x ^ 3)$

Answer:

Therefore the friends will have to buy 511 feet of fence (rounding up) or 510 feet of fence ( to the nearest foot).

Step-by-step explanation:

i) perimeter of rectangular yard = 319 feet

ii) perimeter of yard of friends $= \frac{8}{5} \times 319 = 510.4$

iii) Therefore the friends will have to buy 511 feet of fence or 510 feet of fence ( to the nearest foot).

Which choice best represents the balance of a savings account at the end of 6 years if the simple interest earned each year is 6

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

$507.00.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, converting R percent to r a decimal

r = R/100 = 6.5%/100 = 0.065 per year,

then, solving our equation

I = 1300 × 0.065 × 6 = 507

I = $ 507.00

The simple interest accumulated

on a principal of $ 1,300.00

at a rate of 6.5% per year

for 6 years is $ 507.00.

Plz help!<br> Which table shows a linear function?

Nikitich [7]

The second table. A linear function is a function where adding the same amount to x should add the same amount to y.

In table 2, you can see that adding 1 to x adds 2 to y. All the other tables describe non-linear functions.
