Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 - 1/x = 13/15

Subtract 2/3 from each side

2/3 -2/3 - 1/x = 13/15 -2/3

-1/x = 13/15 - 2/3

Getting a common denominator

-1/x = 13/15 -2/3*5/5

-1/x = 13/15 - 10/15

-1/x = 3/15

Using cross products

3x = -15

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 = -15/3

x = -5

A closed can, in a shape of a circular, is to contain 500cm^3 of liquid when full. The cylinder, radius r cm and height h cm, is

Gemiola [76]

To express the height as a function of the volume and the radius, we are going to use the volume formula for a cylinder: $V= \pi r^2h$
where
$V$ is the volume
$r$ is the radius
$h$ is the height

We know for our problem that the cylindrical can is to contain 500cm^3 when full, so the volume of our cylinder is 500cm^3. In other words: $V=500cm^3$ . We also know that the radius is r cm and height is h cm, so $r=rcm$ and $h=hcm$ . Lets replace the values in our formula:
$V= \pi r^2h$
$500cm^3= \pi (rcm^2)(hcm)$
$500cm^3=h \pi r^2cm^3$
$h= \frac{500cm^3}{ \pi r^2cm^3}$
$h= \frac{500}{ \pi r^2}$

Next, we are going to use the formula for the area of a cylinder: $A=2 \pi rh+2 \pi r^2$
where
$A$ is the area
$r$ is the radius
$h$ is the height

We know from our previous calculation that $h= \frac{500}{ \pi r^2}$ , so lets replace that value in our area formula:
$A=2 \pi rh+2 \pi r^2$
$A=2 \pi r(\frac{500}{ \pi r^2})+2 \pi r^2$
$A= \frac{1000}{r} +2 \pi r^2$
By the commutative property of addition, we can conclude that:
$A=2 \pi r^2+\frac{1000}{r}$

Courtney has a total of 88 stamps worth $15.56. Some are $0.25 stamps and some are $0.02 stamps. How many of each foes she have?

olganol [36]

Let x = # of 25-cent stamps

y = # of 2-cent stamps

{ x+ y = 88

{ 0.25x + 0.02y = 15.56

60 25-cent stamps 28 2-cent stamps

The Changs received a delivery of fuel oil totaling 35.00 gallons. The oil cost $3.05 per gallon. What did the Changs pay for th

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

$106.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the cost of a gallon of oil cost $3.05, we are going to have the equation y = 3.05x, where x represents the number of gallons of oil.

Since the Changs have 35 gallons of oil, the equation would be;

3.05(35) = 106.75

The Changs paid $106.75 for the delivery.
