There are 27 purple marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the purple marbles

and

w be the white marbles

Then according to given statements

p+w = 34\ \ \ Eqn\ 1\\p = 4w-1\ \ \ Eqn 2

Putting p = 4w-1 in equation 1

4w-1 +w = 34

Adding one on both sides

5w-1+1 = 34+1\\5w = 35

Dividing both sides by 5

\frac{5w}{5} = \frac{35}{5}\\w = 7

Putting w = 7 in equation 2

p = 4(7)-1\\p = 28-1\\p = 27

Hence,

There are 27 purple marbles

Solve the formula V=pir^2h for r <br><br> PLEAASSSEEE HELP
otez555 [7]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the formula:

V=\pi r^2h

And we want to solve it for r.

So, let's first divide both sides by π and h. This will cancel out the right side:

r^2=\frac{V}{\pi h}

Now, take the square root of both sides:

r=\sqrt{\frac{V}{\pi h}}

And we're done!

Our answer is B.

I hope this helps!
