Answer:

21.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there were five teams entered in a competition, and each team consisted of either only boys or only girls, with the number of team members being 9, 15, 17, 19 and 21 members, if after one team of girls had been knocked out of the competition, the number of girls still competing was three times the number of boys, to determine how many girls were in the team that was eliminated, the following calculation must be performed:

9 + 15 + 17 + 19 = 60/4 = 15

9 + 15 + 17 + 21 = 62/4 = 15.5

9 + 15 + 19 + 21 = 64/4 = 16

9 + 17 + 19 + 21 = 66/4 = 16.5

15 + 17 + 19 + 21 = 72/4 = 18

Thus, since 15 x 3 equals 45, and 45 plus 15 equals 60, the number of girls on the team that was eliminated was 21.

The answer would be .81 becuase you can't round the 1 up to 2 becuase the number in the thousandths place is not above 5. 
Hope this helps!!

<h3>Answer:  9V</h3>

=============================================================

Reason:

The volume expression of a cone with radius r and height h is

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

Let's plug in the given height h = 12 and we'd get

\frac{1}{3}\pi*r^2*h\\\\\frac{1}{3}\pi*r^2*12\\\\\left(\frac{1}{3}*12\right)\pi*r^2\\\\4\pi*r^2\\\\

This is the volume of the first cone. We're told the first cone has a volume of V, so we can say V = 4\pi r^2

We can't find the actual numeric volume because we don't know what value replaces r. So we leave it as is.

The second cone has the same height (h = 12) but the radius is now 3 times in size. Instead of r, we use 3r

Replace every copy of r with 3r. Then simplify

4\pi*r^2\\\\4\pi*(3r)^2\\\\4\pi*9r^2\\\\9(4\pi r^2)\\\\9V\\\\

The radius tripled which results in a volume that's 9 times bigger.

5+2x=2x+6 please answer
madam [21]

If we firstly consider only the terms in x.

subtract 2x from both sides of the equation

⇒5+2x

−2x=2x−2x

+6

Observe that the x terms are eliminated and we are left with

5+0=0+6 that is 5=6 which is invalid

There is no solution to this equation.
