Answer:

n = -33

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n = number

Sum of a number and 9

(n+9)

is tripled

3(n+9)

the result is six less then twice the number

2n-6

3(n+9) = 2n-6

Distribute

3n+27 = 2n-6

Subtract 2n from each side

3n-2n +27 = -6

n +27 = -6

Subtract 27 from each side

n+27-27 = -6-27

n =-33

I’m confused on this

$\huge\boxed{x=25}$

The mistake is in Step 1. The solver should have also squared $9$ when squaring the other side of the equation.

<h3>Correctly solving</h3>

$\begin{aligned}\sqrt{3x+6}&=9\\(\sqrt{3x+6})^2&=9^2\\3x+6&=81\\3x+6-6&=81-6\\3x&=75\\\frac{3x}{3}&=\frac{75}{3}\\x&=25\end{aligned}$

determine the diameter to the nearest inch of a large can of tuna that has a volume 6068 inches and a height of 3.3 inches

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

The diameter of can is<u> 48 inches</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Volume of can = 6068 inches.

And height(h) = 3.3 inches.

Now, to find the diameter.

Diameter = 2 × radius

Let radius be $r.$

So, by putting the formula of volume we get the radius:

$Volume =\pi r^2h$

$6068=3.14\times r^2\times 3.3$ (taking the value of π=3.14)

$6068=10.362\times r^2$

<em>Dividing both sides by 10.362 we get:</em>

$585.60=r^2$

<em>Using square root on both sides we get</em>:

$24.199=r$

<em>Radius = 24.199 inches.</em>

Then, we get the diameter:

Diameter = 2 × radius

Diameter = 2 × 24.199 = 48.398 inches.

Diameter = 48 inches (rounding to nearest, inch as in the place of tenth it is 3 which is less than 5.)

Therefore, the diameter of can is 48 inches.
