Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

x = 7/8

Discussion:

3[x + 3(4x – 5)] = 15x – 24 =>

3x + (3*3)(4x-5) = 15x - 24 =>

3x + 9*(4x) - (3*3)*5 = 15x - 24 =>

3x + 36x - 45 = 15x - 24 => (add 24 to each side)

3x + 36x - 45 + 45 = 15x - 24 + 45 =>

39x = 15x + 21 => (as 45-24 = 21)

39x-15x = 21 => (subtract 15x from both sides)

24x = 21 =>

x = 21/24 = -7/8

Consider the function represented by the equation 6q = 3s - 9. Write the equation in function notation, where q is the independe

serg [7]

Answer:

s = 2q + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear function has the form:

● y = mx + b

● y is the output of the function

● x is the variabke that we input

● b is the y-intetcept.

Focus on y and x.

Notice that y depends of the value of x. The value of y changes by changing x. So the value of x controls the output y.

y is dependent but x is not.

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

● 6q = 3s - 9

We want q to be the independent variable wich means that q will be the input. Therefore s should be the output.

The strategy we are going to follow is separating s in one side alone.

● 6q = 3s - 9

Add 9 to both sides

● 6q + 9 = 3s -9 + 9

● 6q + 9 = 3s

Divide both sides by 3

● (6q + 9)/3 = (3s)/3

● (6q)/3 + 9/3 = s

● s = 2q + 3

So the answer is s = 2q + 3

A cone and a cylinder have the same height and their bases are congruent circles

Anettt [7]

Answer:

$30cm^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

the volume of a cylinder is given by:

$v_{cylinder}=\pi r^2 h$

and the volume of a cone is given by:

$v_{cone}=\frac{\pi r^2 h}{3}$

since both have the same height and radius, we can solve each equation for $r^2h$ (because this quantity is the same in both figures) and then match the expressions we find:

from the cylinder's volume formula:

$r^2h=\frac{v_{cylinder}}{\pi}$

and from the cone's volume formula:

$r^2h=\frac{3 v_{cone}}{\pi}$

matching the two previous expressions:

$\frac{v_{cylinder}}{\pi} =\frac{3v_{cone}}{\pi}$

we solve for the volume of a cone $v_{cone}$ :

$v_{cone}=\frac{\pi v_{cylinder}}{3\pi} \\\\v_{cone}=\frac{v_{cylinder}}{3}$

substituting the value of the cylinder's volume $v_{cylinder}=90cm^3$

$v_{cone}=\frac{90cm^3}{3} \\\\v_{cone}=30cm^3$
