Answer:

59

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is

944 - 5x = 1180 - 9x

Notice what is being said. You start with 944 gallons and take off 5 per week

You also start with 1180 gallons and take on 9 per week.

You want to know when the two are equal. The second tank is larger, but it leaks more. That's what's going to bring about equality.

Add 9x to both sides

944 - 5x + 9x = 1180

944 + 4x = 1180                

Subtract 944 from both sides.

4x = 1180 - 944

4x = 236      

Divide by 4

x = 236/4

x = 59 weeks

Which is a simplified form of the expression -4(n + 1) – (n + 2)?
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

-(5 n + 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

-4 (n + 1) - (n + 2)

-4 (n + 1) = -4 n - 4:

-4 n - 4 - (n + 2)

-(n + 2) = -n - 2:

-4 - 4 n + -n - 2

Grouping like terms, -4 - 4 n - 2 - n = (-4 n - n) + (-4 - 2):

(-4 n - n) + (-4 - 2)

-4 n - n = -5 n:

-5 n + (-4 - 2)

-4 - 2 = -(4 + 2):

-5 n + -(4 + 2)

4 + 2 = 6:

-5 n - 6

Factor -1 out of -5 n - 6:

Answer: -(5 n + 6)

A cylinder an a cone have the same volume.The cylinder has a radius of 2 inches and a height of 3 inches.The cone has a radius o
taurus [48]

  Volume of a cone =  (1/3) pi x r^2 x h

Volume of a cylinder =  pi x r^2 x h

Volume of the cylinder = pi x 2^2 x 3 = 37.68 cubic inches

Now set the volume for the cone to the volume of the cylinder and solve for the height.

37.68 = (1/3) x pi x r^2 x h

37.68 = (1/3) x pi x 3^2 x h

37.68 = (1/3) x pi x 9 x h

37.68 = 9.42 x h

h = 37.68 / 9.42

h = 4

The height of the cone is 4 cm.
