Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use the distributive property a couple times to expand the parentheses.

Remember that when expanding parentheses, we find the sum of the products of the outside term with each of the inside terms.

5(x - 4) = 5 * x + 5 * (-4) = 5x - 20

-(2x + 5) = -1 * 2x + -1 * 5 = -2x - 5

Now we have:

5x - 20 + 3x - 9x = 6 - 2x - 5 + 8x

Combine all the terms with x:

-x - 20 = 6x + 1

7x = -21

Divide by 7:

x = -21/7 = -3

The answer is thus -3.

Answer:

Volume: $\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3$

Ratio: $\frac{2}{9}r$

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we need to find the volume of the hemispherical tank.

The volume of a sphere is given by:

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

where

r is the radius of the sphere

V is the volume

Here, we have a hemispherical tank: a hemisphere is exactly a sphere cut in a half, so its volume is half that of the sphere:

$V'=\frac{V}{2}=\frac{\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3}{2}=\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3$

Now we want to find the ratio between the volume of the hemisphere and its surface area.

The surface area of a sphere is

$A=4 \pi r^2$

For a hemisphere, the area of the curved part of the surface is therefore half of this value, so $2\pi r^2$ . Moreover, we have to add the surface of the base, which is $\pi r^2$ . So the total surface area of the hemispherical tank is

$A'=2\pi r^2 + \pi r^2 = 3 \pi r^2$

Therefore, the ratio betwen the volume and the surface area of the hemisphere is

$\frac{V'}{A'}=\frac{\frac{2}{3}\pi r^3}{3\pi r^2}=\frac{2}{9}r$

Answer:

$\frac{x+2}{3x-1}$

Explanation:

→ $\frac{(x^2-9)(x+2)}{(3x^2 +8x -3)(x-3)}$

→ $\frac{\left(x+3\right)\left(x-3\right)\left(x+2\right)}{\left(3x^2+8x-3\right)\left(x-3\right)}$

→ $\frac{\left(x+3\right)\left(x+2\right)}{3x^2+8x-3}$

→ $\frac{\left(x+3\right)\left(x+2\right)}{\left(3x-1\right)\left(x+3\right)}$

→ $\frac{x+2}{3x-1}$
