m + 4 = 5m - 12

Subtract m from both sides.

4 = 4m - 12

Add 12 to both sides

16 = 4m

Divide both sides by 4

m = 4

Isolate the m. Subtract 5m from both sides, and 4 from both sides

m (-5m) + 4 (-4) = 5m (-5m) - 12 (-4)

m - 5m = -12 - 4

Simplify

-4m = -16

Isolate the m. Divide -4 from both sides

-4m/-4 = -16/-4

m = -16/-4

Note that dividing two negative numbers will result in a positive answer

m = -16/-4

m = 4

The product of two consecutive odd integers is 72. Write a quadratic equation to find the integers,

zimovet [89]

<u>Answer:</u>

$x^2 + x - 72 = 0$

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given product of two consecutive odd integers is equal to 72.

Let one integer be x , then since these are consecutive and odd so the other integer will be equal to x + 1.

Their product is equal to 72. So,

x * (x + 1) = 72

=> $x^2 + x = 72$

=> $x^2 + x - 72 = 0$ is the required quadratic equation.

A company makes wax candles in the shape of a solid sphere. Suppose each candle has a diameter of 15 cm. If

jekas [21]

We have been given that a company makes wax candles in the shape of a solid sphere. Each candle has a diameter of 15 cm. We are asked to find the number of candles that company can make from 70,650 cubic cm of wax.

To solve our given problem, we will divide total volume of wax by volume of one candle.

Volume of each candle will be equal to volume of sphere.

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$ , where r represents radius of sphere.

We know that radius is half the diameter, so radius of each candle will be $\frac{15}{2}=7.5$ cm.

$\text{Volume of one candle}=\frac{4}{3}\cdot 3.14\cdot (7.5\text{ cm})^3$

$\text{Volume of one candle}=\frac{4}{3}\cdot 3.14\cdot 421.875\text{ cm}^3$

$\text{Volume of one candle}=1766.25\text{ cm}^3$

Now we will divide 70,650 cubic cm of wax by volume of one candle.

$\text{Number of candles}=\frac{70,650\text{ cm}^3}{1766.25\text{ cm}^3}$

$\text{Number of candles}=\frac{70,650}{1766.25}$

$\text{Number of candles}=40$

Therefore, 40 candles can be made from 70,650 cubic cm of wax.
