Answer:

12 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set the speed as "s".

Remember that distance = speed * time

So, plugging the numbers given...

7 = s * 8.4

Divide both sides by 8.4

s = 5/6

Now, plug this into the distance = speed * time, with the distance being 10. Set the time as "t"

10 = 5/6 * t

Divide both sides by 5/6

12 = t

So, it would take 12 hours for the snail to crawl 10 miles.

A cylinder and a cone have the same volume. The cylinder has radius x and height y. The cone has radius 3x. Find the height of t

timurjin [86]

Vcyl = Vcone
pi×x^2×y = 1/3×pi×(3x)^2 (h)
pi's cancel--> x^2•y = 3x^2 (h)
h = y/3

How many soultions does 5(x-3)+6=5x-9

olya-2409 [2.1K]

5(x - 3) + 6 = 5x - 9 has no solution

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

We have to find the number of solutions for the given equation

Given equation is:

5(x - 3) + 6 = 5x - 9

Multiply the terms inside with bracket with constant outside the bracket

5x - 15 + 6 = 5x - 9

Add the constants in left hand side of equation

5x - 9 = 5x - 9

If the coefficients are the same on both sides, then the sides will not equal, therefore no solutions will occur.

Here, 5x - 9 = 5x - 9

The coefficients are same in both sides of equation

Therefore, the equation has no solution

Let g(x) = 2x and h(x) = x^2 + 4. Find the value.(g o h) (0)a) 4b) 8c) 0d) 16

Paul [167]

$\begin{gathered} \text{Given} \\ g(x)=2x \\ h(x)=x^2+4 \end{gathered}$

Solve for (g o h)(x)

$\begin{gathered} (g\circ f)(x)=g\big(f(x)\big) \\ (g\circ f)(x)=g(x^2+4) \\ (g\circ f)(x)=2(x^2+4) \\ (g\circ f)(x)=2x^2+8 \end{gathered}$

Next substitute x = 0

$\begin{gathered} (g\circ f)(x)=2x^2+8 \\ (g\circ f)(0)=2(0)^2+8 \\ (g\circ f)(0)=8 \end{gathered}$ $\text{Therefore, }(g\circ f)(0)=8$

What is the original price if saidhari and she paid $75 and it was 1/4 off the price

Lelu [443]

Let's set the original price as x.

1/4 off the original price would be

x-1/4x=3/4x

Set it equal to 75

3/4x=75
3x=300
x=100

The original price was $100.

Hope this helps!
