Simplify 1/3(6x - 15) to 6x - 15/3
6x - 15/3 = 1/2(10x - 4)
Factor out the common term; 3
3(2x - 5)/3 = 1/2(10x - 4)
Cancel out 3
2x - 5 = 1/2(10x - 4)
Simplify 1/2(10x - 4) to 10x - 4/2
2x - 5 = 10x - 4/2
Factor out the common term; 2
2x - 5 = 2(5x - 2)/2
Cancel out 2
2x - 5 = 5x - 2
Subtract 2x from both sides
-5 = 5x - 2 - 2x
Simplify 5x - 2 - 2x to 3x - 2
-5 = 3x - 2
Add 2 to both sides
-5 + 2 = 3x
Simplify -5 + 2 to -3
-3 = 3x
Divide both sides by 3
- 1 = x
Switch sides
<u>x = -1</u>
Answer:
A. 300π units³
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula for volume of a cone = ⅓πr²h
Where,
radius (r) = ½(10) = 5 units
height (h) = 36 units
Plug in the values and find the volume in terms of π
Volume of the cone = ⅓*π*5²*36
Volume of the cone = 300π units³
percent discount = (discount)/ original * 100
= (20)/250 * 100
=.08*100
= 8 percent
He got an 8 percent discount
