Since this is an equation involving an absolute value, let 2x + 6 be positive first such that,
 
                            -3(2x + 6) = -12
                                   2x + 6 = 4
                                        2x = -2,     x = -1
Then, let 2x + 6 be negative,
                             -3(-2x - 6) = -12
                                  -2x - 6 = 4
                                        -2x = 10  ;     x = -5
Thus, the answer to this item is letter B.

If ||| m, solve for x and y.
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

x = 11, y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

(13x - 19) and (9x + 25) are corresponding angles and congruent, thus

13x - 19 = 9x + 25 ( subtract 9x from both sides )

4x - 19 = 25 ( add 19 to both sides )

4x = 44 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 11

Then

13x - 19 = 13(11) - 19 = 143 - 19 = 124

(17y + 5) and 124 are alternate angles and are supplementary, thus

17y + 5 + 124 = 180, that is

17y + 129 = 180 ( subtract 129 from both sides )

17y = 51 ( divide both sides by 17 )

y = 3

€1.4 m
Tema [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each tank is cylindrical, we would apply the formula for determining the total surface area of a cylinder which is expressed as

Total surface area = 2πr² + 2πrh

Where

r represents the height of the cylinder.

h represents the height of the cylinder.

π = 3.14

From the information given,

Height = 1.9

Diameter = 1.4

Radius = diameter/2 = 1.4/2 = 0.7

Total surface area = 2 × 3.14 × 0.7² + 2 × 3.14 × 0.7 × 1.9 = 3.0772 + 8.3524 = 11.4296 m²

Total surface area of the 3 cylinders = 11.4296 × 3 = 34.29 m²

Since a tin of paint covers 5 m², the number of tins paints that Tim will need to buy is

34.29/5 = 6.858

Since the tins of paint must be whole numbers, he needs to buy 7 tins of paints.
