Answer:
k = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Put the given value of x in the equation, and solve the resulting equation for k.
2(5 -3) +k(1 +2·5) = k - 5 - 1
2(2) +k(11) = k -6 . . . . simplify a bit
10k = -10 . . . . . . . . . . add -4-k to both sides
k = -1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 10
The value of k is -1.
_____
<em>Check</em>
Use k = -1 in the original equation and solve for x.
2(x -3) -(1 +2x) = -1 -x -1
2x -6 -1 -2x = -x -2 . . . . eliminate parentheses
x = 7 -2 = 5 . . . . . . add x+7; answer checks OK
Step-by-step explanation:

By cross multiplication,
→ 83(5) = 4x(7)
→ 415 = 28x
<h3>→ 415/28 = x</h3>

80*
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
If
, the slang height of the cone is approximately 23.521 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
The surface area of a cone (A) is given by this formula:

Where:
- Base radius of the cone, measured in inches.
- Slant height, measured in inches.
In addition, the slant height is calculated by means of the Pythagorean Theorem:

Where
is the altitude of the cone, measured in inches. If
, then:

And:

Given that
, the following second-order polynomial is obtained:

Roots can be found by the Quadratic Formula:



As radius is a positive unit, the first root is the only solution that is physically reasonable. Hence, the slang height of the cone is approximately 23.521 inches.
