Given equation: 3 + x/2 = 10

1st step subtract 3 from each side:

x/2 = 7

2nd step multiply both sides by 2:

x = 14

Step 1)

3 + x/2 = 10 ..............This is given

Step 2)

x/2 = 7 ....................... Multiplication property of equality.

This step is wrong. This step is called "Subtraction property of equality". This means you have to subtract 3 from both sides

3 + x/2 - 3 = 10 - 3

Simplifying

x/ 2 = 7

Step 3)

x = 14 ....This is called "Multiplication property of equality" because you multiply both sides by 2.

Hope that helps.

HELP PLZ PICK ONE OF THE ONES SHOWN:

I am doing with Question Number 2

Let the two numbers be 'x' and 'y'.

According to the question, the product of two numbers is 14.

$x \times y=14$

So, xy=14 (Equation 1)

Now, one of the numbers is 3 ½ times the other.

So, $x = 3\frac{1}{2}\times y$

$x=\frac{7}{2}y$ (Equation 2)

Substituting the value of 'x' from equation 2 in equation 1, we get

$\frac{7}{2}y \times y = 14$

$\frac{7}{2}y^{2} = 14$

$y^{2} = 4$

So, y= 2 and -2

So, $x=\frac{14}{2}$ and $x=\frac{14}{-2}$

x=7 and -7

Numbers are 2,7 and -2,-7.

Sum of numbers 2 and 7 = 9

Sum of numbers -2 and -7 = -9.

The radius of the large sphere is double the radius of the small sphere. How many times is the volume of the large sphere than t

kobusy [5.1K]

The volume of a sphere is $\cfrac{4}{3}\ \pi r^3$

So, if the small sphere has radius $r$ and the largest sphere has radius $2r$ , their volumes are

$V_1 = \cfrac{4}{3}\ \pi r^3,\quad V_2 = \cfrac{4}{3}\ \pi (2r)^3 = \cfrac{4}{3}\ \pi 8r^3$

So, their ratio is

$\cfrac{V_2}{V_1} = \cfrac{\frac{4}{3}\ \pi 8r^3}{\frac{4}{3}\ \pi r^3} = 8$
