Answer:
volume
of course, how <u>much</u> water is asking about the capacity of cylinder, meaning it's volume in this case.
Answer: 3400
Step-by-step explanation:
We have, 5% × x = 170
or,
5
100
× x = 170
Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 5,
we have x = 170 ×
100
5
x = 3400
If you are using a calculator, simply enter 170×100÷5, which will give you the answer.
Answer:
x = 2
x = -3/2 or -1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
For this, I would use the "slip and slide" method. LOL I know the name is cheesy, but that's what my teacher called it!
First, you "slip" the coefficent of the leading term (2) to the constant, and multiply.
The equation becomes:
x² - x - 6(2) = 0
x² - x - 12 = 0
Then, you factor this out by looking at the second and third terms. You're looking for 2 factors of -12 that would add up to -1 ( the coefficent of the second term).
Automatically, think of 3 and 4, because the difference between them is 1.
The factors must be (x-4) and (x+3) because they multiple to -12, and add up to -1.
This step is extremely important! Lol I used to forget it a lot, but make sure you divide the constant in each factor by the original number you "slipped".
It would become (x-(4/2))(x+3/2) = (x-2)(x+3/2)
With (x+3/2), you don't want to leave it as a fraction or decimal. It's equivalent to (2x+3). However, the informal form is easier to identify the value of x.
