Chris is incorrect. To check the answer, replace m with 8 and simplify the left side. So m/6 turns into 8/6 which converts to the decimal value 1.333 (use a calculator)

Therefore the original equation m/6 = 48 becomes 1.333 = 48 after you plug in m = 8 and simplify fully. The two sides of 1.333 = 48 are not the same, so m = 8 is not the solution.

--------------------

The solution is actually 288 and we can prove it so like this

m/6 = 48

288/6 = 48 .... replace m with 288

48 = 48 .... use a calculator to compute 288/6

So the solution m = 288 is confirmed

------------------

How did I get this answer? By multiplying both sides by 6

m/6 = 48

6*(m/6) = 6*48 ..... multiply both sides by 6

m = 288

So Chris mistakenly divided both sides by 6, which explains how he got 48/6 = 8 as the solution. Instead he should have multiplied both sides by 6. This is to undo the operation "divide by 6" that is being applied to m in the original equation.

Juli2301 [7.4K]
Up 2 units = y shifted up by 2:
y = x^2 + 2
to the right 3 units = x shifted right (+) by 3:
y + 3 = x^2 +2
new equation:
y = x^2 - 1

Answer:

The volume of a cylinder:

V \approx 150.796 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of a cylinder, you need the this formula:

V = \pi r^2h

-Use the given height and radius for the formula:

V = \pi 4^2 3

-Then, solve the formula:

V = \pi \times 4^2 \times 3

V = \pi \times 16 \times 3

V = \pi \times 48

V = 48\pi \approx 150.796

So, the volume of a cylinder is approximately 150.796 ft^3 .
