At the bank, Derek made 7 withdrawals, each in the same amount. His brother, John, made 5 withdrawls, each in the same amount.

Let x be  the amount of one of Derek's withdrawals

Each of John's withdrawals was $5 more than each withdrawal that Derek made.

x + 5 is t the amount of one of John's withdrawals

Derek made 7 withdrawals

So amount withdraw 7 times = 7x

John made 5 withdrawals

So amount withdraw 5 times = 5(x+5)

Both Derek and John withdrew the same amount of money in the end

(A) 7x = 5(x+5)

(B) Solve for x

7x = 5x + 25

Subtract 5x from both sides

2x = 25

Divide by 2

x = 12.5

(C) check your solution

we plug in 12.5 for x in 7x= 5x + 25

7(12.5) = 5(12.5) + 25

87.5 = 62.5+ 25

87.5 = 87.5

(D) Each brother withdrawal 87.5 dollars

1 tenth of 70kg is if you help thx
kkurt [141]

it would be 70/100 then it would go down to 7/10 so 1/10 of 70kg would be 7kg because you change 70 you make it a decimal witch is .70 or .7 now make that into a fraction and it would be 70/100 or 7/10 then you take your 7 because its 1/10 of 70. Or you could do it a whole lot easier way and just divide 70 by 10 and get 7. There you have it your answer is 7.

                                        HOPE THIS HELPED!!!

A drainage pipe 66 in. tall measures 25.12 in. around.
Schach [20]
In order to solve this using V= B(h) (The B is area of the base) you need a radius it doesn't give us that but it does give us the circumference. 
C= 3.14(2r)
25.12=2r divide each by 2 
12.56=r
now use this in the volume formula:
V= 12.56^2(3.14)(66)
V=32,692.86 cubic inches
