The sum of two numbers is 35. Three times the larger number is the same as 4 times the smaller number. Find the smaller number

1 answer:

3 0

If 35-x is the smaller number and x is the larger number, we can take that 3*x=4*(35-x)=140-4x. Subtracting 3x from both sides, we get 140-7x=0. Adding 7x to both sides, we get 140=7x. Lastly, we can divide both sides by 7 to get x=20

Solve the equation x = 5/3 (pie) (r^3) for r.

DENIUS [597]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for r, we need to get everything away from r. We can start off by moving five thirds, and pi.

$x = \frac{5}{3} \pi r^{3}$

Multiply each side by $\frac{3}{5}$ , then divide by $\pi$ (pi)

$\frac{3x}{5\pi } = r^{3}$

Now, take the cubed root of both sides.

$\sqrt[3]{\frac{3x}{5\pi } } = r$

^^ That is the answer.
