Answer:
(x, y) = (1, 7.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the first equation for y, then substitute into the second equation.
y = 8 -1/2x . . . . . subtract 1/2x
2(8 -1/2x) = x +14
16 -x = x + 14 . . .eliminate parentheses
2 = 2x . . . . . . . add x-14
1 = x . . . . . . . . divide by 2
y = 8 -1/2(1) = 7 1/2
The solution is (x, y) = (1, 7 1/2).

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
the volume of a cylinder is given by:
and the volume of a cone is given by:
since both have the same height and radius, we can solve each equation for (because this quantity is the same in both figures) and then match the expressions we find:
from the cylinder's volume formula:
and from the cone's volume formula:
matching the two previous expressions:
we solve for the volume of a cone :
substituting the value of the cylinder's volume
