-5-(15y-1) = 2(7y-16) - y // question
-5-15y+1 = 14y-32-y // distribute
-15y - 4 = 13y - 32 // subtract
-28y = -28 // divide
y = 1
Answer: 493,700,000
Step-by-step explanation:
First, solve for the volume (V) of each cylinder by the equation,
V = πd²h / 4
where d and h are diameter and height, respectively. Substituting the given values,
V = π(6.19 cm)² x (6 cm) / 4 = 180.56 cm³
To determine the number of cylinders needed, divide the volume of the solid block by the volume of the cylinder,
n = 360 cm³ / 180.56 cm³ = 1.99
Thus, approximately 2 cylinders are needed to mold one block of gold.
