In this case just do it left to right, as multiplication comes before addition/subtraction. So 7x3x2+5-3=21x2+5-3=42+5-3=47-3=44=k.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:

Wait so are the sides of the octagon 9 inches each or do we have to find that?
Okay. Basically, a is greater than or equal to 9.
First, you do distribute the 2.
8a+2-10a(< or =)20
Subtract two on both sides.
8a-10a(< or =)18
Then subtract 10a from 8a
-2a(< or =)18
Divide by two on both sides
and switch around the greater than sign since you divided by a <span>-2
</span>a(> or =)-9
<span>And if you check, -9 works, -8 works, and -10 doesn't work.</span>
The volume of a sphere is 
So, if the small sphere has radius
and the largest sphere has radius
, their volumes are

So, their ratio is
