To solve for x, we must first isolate the term containing x which in this problem is 5x.

Since 10 is being added to 5x, we subtract 10 from both sides of the equation to isolate the 5x.

On the left, the +10 and -10 cancel out and on the right, 20 - 10 is 10 and we have 5x = 10.

Now we can finish things off by just dividing both sides of the equation by 5. On the left the 5's cancel and on the right, 10 divided by 5 is 2 so x = 2.

A right cylinder ice cream cone has 600 cubic centimeters of ice cream, what is the radius of the cone of the height is 15 centi

choli [55]

The formula for volume is V=Bh where B is the area of the base.
plug in what they have given you:
600=B(15) you can divide both sides by 15

40=B We know that a cylinder's base is a circle so we can use the area f formula for a circle to solve for the radius.
40 = pi(r)^2 divide both sides by pi to get the r^2 alone
40/pi=r^2 square root both sides to get rid of the square
you should get
r=3.5 approximately
