the product of a number and the same number less 3
x(x – 3)

The words "the product of" tell us we're going to multiply a number times the number less 3. In this case, we'll use parentheses to represent the multiplication. The words "less 3" tell us to subtract three from the unknown number.

a number divided by the same number less five

The words "divided by" tell us we're going to divide a number by the difference of the number and 5. In this case, we'll use a fraction to represent the division. The words "less 5" tell us we need a minus sign because we're going to subtract five.

What is the best result for h?

Kryger [21]

Answer: First option.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for "h" from the given the equation $S=2\pi rh+2\pi r^2$ , you need to:

Apply the Subtraction property of equality and subtract $2\pi r^2$ to both sides of the equation.

Then you need to apply the Division property of equality and divide both sides of the equation by $2\pi r$ .

Then:

$S-2\pi r^2=2\pi rh+2\pi r^2-2\pi r^2\\\\S-2\pi r^2=2\pi rh\\\\\frac{S}{2\pi r}-\frac{2\pi r^2}{2\pi r}=\frac{2\pi rh}{2\pi r}\\\\\frac{S}{2\pi r}-r=h$
