Say x is the number

7x +3 = 39 -2x
Add 2x to each side
9x +3 =39
Subtract 3 from each side
9x =36
Divide by 9 on each side
x=4

Hope this helped

Answer: The required number is 2.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the product of 7 and a number increased by 3 is equal to twice the number subtracted from 39.

We are to find the number.

Let x represents the given number.

Then, according to the given information, we have

$7(x+3)=39-2x\\\\\Rightarrow 7x+21=39-2x\\\\\Rightarrow 7x+2x=39-21\\\\\Rightarrow 9x=18\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{18}{9}\\\\\Rightarrow x=2.$

Thus, the required number is 2.

<em>Product, factors, polynomial, distributive property </em>

For this case we must find the product of two factors of a polynomial. To do this, we must apply the distributive property, which states: $a (b + c) = ab + ac.$

So:

$2x (x - 4) = 2x * x-2x * 4\\2x (x - 4) = 2x ^ 2-8x$

Thus, the product of $2x (x - 4)$ is: $2x ^ 2-8x$

Answer:

The product of $2x (x - 4)$ is: $2x ^ 2-8x$

38. What is the surface area of a conical grain storage tank that has a height of 62 meters and a diameter of 24 meters? Round t

svetoff [14.1K]

1. The surface area of a cone S is S= $\pi r^{2}+ \pi rl$ , where r is the radius of the base and l is the slant height.

2. The slant height l is found as follows:

$l^{2}= OC^{2}+ OB^{2}$
$l^{2}= 12^{2}+ 62^{2}=144+3844=3988$

$l= \sqrt{3988}=63.15$

3.

$A=\pi r^{2}+ \pi rl=3.14(12)^{2}+3.14*12*63.15
$
$= 452.16+2379.492 =2831.652 ( m^{2} )$

$= 452.16+2379.492 =2831.652 ( m^{2} )$

4. The answer is C
