solve for "l" to find its length
We can solve this by setting up 2 equations. We can use any letters like. For now, I'll use x and y.
So now we know that x - y = 0.7 and x + y = 1.
Now we can eliminate one of the letters by adding or subtracting one equation from the other. I am going to eliminate y by adding the two together (the y and the -y cancel).
This gives us 2x = 1.7, and so x = 1.7 ÷ 2 = 0.85
Finally, we can substitute x for 0.85 back into one of the original equations to figure out what y equals. I'm going to use x + y = 1.
So now we have 0.85 + y = 1, so y = 1 - 0.85 = 0.15
The numbers, therefore, are 0.85 and 0.15 (you can check by using the other equation).
Hope this helps!
This is the concept of area of solid materials, we are required to calculate the total area of horsehide that is required to cover 100 balls with each having a circumference of 9 in.
The area of hide required will be given by:
area=(area of each ball)*(total number of balls)
area of each ball is given by:
SA=4πr^2
given that the circumference is 9in, we are required to find the radius of the ball
Circumference, c=2πr
thus;
9=2πr
r=9/(2π)
r=1.4 in
Therefore the surface area will be:
SA=4π*1.4^2=24.6 in^2
Therefore the area of horsehide required to cover 100 balls will be:
Area=24.6*100=2,460 in^2.
Description: They didn't distribute the 3 to both x and 5, so they just had 3x+5.
actual problem:
3(x+5)=3x+15
3x+15=3x+15
subtract 3x from both sides and end up with
15=15
Correct Answer: 15=15
Is there a plot?? How do I know where each point is??
