Answer:
a = (-7)
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly clear the bracket...,
-6(-2 + a) = 12 - 6a
Then substitute the simplified version in place of bracket...,
; 12 - 6a = 54
; -6a = 54 - 12
; -6a = 42...then divide both sides by (-6)
Therefore...., a = (-7)
So using the formula for the volume of a cone:
r^2pi x h/3
The height is always 4 times the radius, so:
h=4r
Now putting the values into the original formula:
r^2pi x 4r/3
Now to see how much the radius increases per second:
r^2pi x 4r/3=300pi
r^2 x 4r/3=300
r^2 x 4r=900
r^2 x r=225
r^3=225
The radius increases by the cubic square root of 225 cm per second.
f(s)= 225^1/3 cm
Answer: Brian gets $39.2 more over Colin.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Total tip amount = £78.40
The ratio of the share of tips for Pawl, Colin and Bria is 2:1 :5.
Let tip amount for Pawl = 2x, tip amount for Colin = x , tip amount for Bria = 5x
Then, 2x+x+5x= 78.40

Tip for Colin = $ 9.8 , Tip for Bria = 5($9.8)= $49
Difference = $(49-9.8) = $ 39.2
Hence, Brian gets $39.2 more over Colin.
Answer:
4x + 1
Step-by-step explanation:
note that (f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) , thus
f(x) + g(x)
= x + 3x + 1 ← collect like terms
= 4x + 1
Answer:
$1.25
September
$30
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's take this a step a time.
First we need to find how much the price of the flowers were in September.
We know that each flower cost $1.50 on October.
The October price was a 20% increase of the September price.
To calculate for the price of the flowers on September, we can solve it like this:
Let x = Price during September
1.2x = 1.50
We used 1.2 because the price of $1.50 is 120% of the original price.
Now we divide both sides by 1.2 to find x.

x = 1.25
The price of the flowers during September was $1.25 each.
Now the 7th grade class earned 40% of the selling price of each flower.
40% = 0.40
To find how much they made on each month, we simply multiply the percentage to the price and the number of flowers sold.
September = 0.40 x 1.25 x 900
September = 0.5 x 900
September = $450
Now for October.
October = 0.40 x 1.50 x 700
October = 0.6 x 700
October = $420
The 7th Graders earned more on September.
They earned $30 more on September than October.
