2 answers:

7 0

ANSWER: x = 1

1. Distribute the 4 into (2x-1). 5x + 2 = 3x + 8x - 4.
2. Add the like terms. 5x + 2 = 11x - 4.
3. Subtract 5x on both sides. 2 = 6x - 4.
4. Add 4 on both sides. 6 = 6x
5. Divide 6 on both sides. x = 1

Answer:

$x=1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with:

$5x+2=3x+4(2x-1)$

Distribute the $4$ into $(2x-1)$ :

$5x+2=3x+8x-4$

Combine like terms:

$5x+2=11x-4$

Add $4$ to both sides of the equation:

$5x+6=11x$

Subtract $5x$ from both sides of the equation:

$6=6x$

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of $x$ , which is $6$ :

$1=x$

$x=1$

A lab technician made a 14 cm diameter hole through the middle of a cylinder that has a diameter of 20 cm and a height of 28 cm.

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

The volume of the finished cylinder is $4486.2 m^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the volume of the finished cylinder, we have to first find the volume of the hole (with 14 cm diameter and a height of 28 cm) and subtract it from the volume of the original cylinder (with diameter of 20 cm and a height of 28 cm).

Note: The hole is also cylindrical in shape.

The volume of a cylinder is given as:

$V = \pi r^2h$

where r = radius, h = height

VOLUME OF THE HOLE

The diameter of the hole is 14 cm, hence, its radius is 7 cm (14 / 2 = 7)

Its volume is:

$V = \pi *7^2 * 28\\V = 4310.3 m^3$

VOLUME OF THE ORIGINAL CYLINDER

The diameter of the cylinder is 20 cm, hence, its radius is 10 cm (20 / 2 = 10)

Its volume is:

$V = \pi *10^2 * 28\\V = 8796.5 m^3$

Hence, the volume of the finished cylinder will be:

$8796.5 - 4310.3 = 4486.2 m^3$

The volume of the finished cylinder is $4486.2 m^3$
