The factored form would be (3x-9)(x-1)
The picture should help a bit
If you subtract 16 on both sides... x will be alone. Therefore 51-16=35
x=35 (B)

The ratio is 3/4 for corresponding dimensions, the ratio of their surface areas is equal to the square of this ratio:

Simplify the exponent:

Cross multiply:

Divide 9 to both sides:

So the surface area of the second solid is 54 square meters.
The ratio is 3/4 for corresponding dimensions, the ratio of their volumes is equal to the cube of this ratio:

Simplify the exponent:

Cross multiply:

Divide 64 to both sides:

5.
A globe is a sphere, use the formula for the volume of a sphere:

The radius is half of the diameter, so the radius here is 40/2 = 20. Plug it in the formula, use 3.14 to approximate for Pi:

Simplify the exponent:

Multiply:
To construct the equations for these lines, we are going to use the point-slope formula, which is:

is the slope of the line
is a point on the line
1)
In this case, our point is (2, -1) and our line has a slope of 5. (Remember that the line is parallel, meaning that it has the same slope as the given line. Since the line is in the y = mx + b format, we could easily pick out the slope m as being 5.)
Thus, we can "plug in" what we know into our formula to find the equation of our line:



2)
We are going to do the same thing, except our point is now (0, -5) and our slope is now 9.


Our equations are:
1) y = 5x - 11
2) y = 9x - 5
