Answer:

The answer is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2(a+7)−7=9

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(a+7)−7=9

(2)(a)+(2)(7)+−7=9(Distribute)

2a+14+−7=9

(2a)+(14+−7)=9(Combine Like Terms)

2a+7=9

Step 2: Subtract 7 from both sides.

2a+7−7=9−7

2a=2

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

a=1

A candle maker has rectangular block of paraffin that is 4 centimeter high by 8 centimeter long by 6 centimeter wide. He melts i

Veronika [31]

Answer:

The candle will not use all the paraffin from the original block.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cone-shaped candle is 5 cm wide at the base i.e. the diameter of the base is 5 cm i.e. radius is 2.5 cm.

If the height of the cone is 25 cm, then total volume of the cone shaped candle is

$\frac{1}{3}\pi r^{2} h$

= $\frac{22 \times 2.5^{2} \times 25 }{3 \times 7}$

= 163.69 cubic cm.

Again, the volumes of the rectangular block of paraffin is (4 × 8 × 6) = 192 cubic cm.

Since, 192 > 163.69

Therefore, the candle will not use all the paraffin from the original block.

Two mechanics Worked on a car The first mechanic charge $55 per hour The second mechanic charge $80 per hour the mechanics work

Tems11 [23]

a = hours worked by the first mechanic

b = hours worked by the second mechanic.

since the first mechanic charges $55 per hour, then for "a" hours that'd be a total of 55*a or 55a, likewise, for the second mechanic that'd be a total charge of 80*b or 80b.

we know all hours combined are 15, so then a + b = 15.

we also know that all charges combined are $950, so 55a + 80b = 950.

$\bf \begin{cases} a+b=15\\ \boxed{b}=15-a\\ \cline{1-1} 55a+80b=950 \end{cases}\qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{substituting on the 2nd equation}}{55a+80\left( \boxed{15-a} \right)=950} \\\\\\ 55a+1200-80a=950\implies -25a+1200=950\implies -25a=-250 \\\\\\ a=\cfrac{-250}{-25}\implies \blacktriangleright a = 10\blacktriangleleft \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{since we know that}}{b=15-a\implies }b=15-10\implies \blacktriangleright b=5 \blacktriangleleft$
