Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{2}{3}$ x - 4 = - 2

Multiply through by 3 to clear the fraction

2x - 12 = - 6 ( add 12 to both sides )

2x = 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 3

What is the volume of the composite figure shown? (Use 3.14 for π.)

Nimfa-mama [501]

$The\ volume\ of\ the\ cone:V_1=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 H\\(r-a\ radius;\ H-height)\\------------------\\r=7ft;\ H=7ft\\\\V_1=\frac{1}{3}\pi\cdot7^2\cdot7=\frac{1}{3}\pi\cdot343=\frac{343}{3}\pi\ (ft^2)\\-------------------\\The\ volume\ of\ the\ cylinder:V_2=\pi r^2 H\\(r-a\ radius;\ H-height)\\-------------------\\r=7ft;\ H=6ft\\\\V_2=\pi\cdot7^2\cdot6=294\pi\ (ft^3)\\------------------------\\The\ volume\ of\ the\ composite\ figure: V_F=V_1+V_2$

$V_F=\frac{343}{3}\pi+294\pi=\frac{343}{3}\pi+\frac{294\cdot3}{3}\pi=\frac{343}{3}\pi+\frac{882}{3}\pi=\boxed{\frac{1225}{3}\pi\ (ft^3)}\\\\\approx\frac{1225}{3}\cdot3.14}=\frac{3846.5}{3}\approx\boxed{1,282.17\ (ft^3)}\leftarrow answer$

A bag contains five red marbles, four blue marbles, and four yellow marbles. You randomly pick a marble. What is the probability

Vikentia [17]

n(s)= 5+4+4=13

n(e)= red + blue

=5+4

so, p(e) = n(e)/n(s)

p(e)= 9/13

=0.69

it's your answer
