Answer:

Solution: x= -36, y=51

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the system:

x + y = 15

-5x - 3y = 27

By using the reduction method.

Multiply the first equation by 3:

3x + 3y = 45

Add it to the second equation:

3x - 5x = 45 + 27

Simplifying:

-2x = 72

Dividing by -2:

x = 72/(-2)

x = -36

From the first equation:

-36 + y = 15

Adding 36:

y = 15 + 36 = 51

y = 51

Solution: x= -36, y=51

These cylinders are similar. Find the volume of

Basile [38]

Answer:

$V_s=85\ cm^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $V_s\ and\ V_b$ be the volumes of the smaller and bigger cylinder.

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is given by :

$V=\pi r^2 h$

As the two triangles are similar, the cube of their ratio would equal the ratio of their volume i.e.

$\dfrac{V_s}{V_b}=(\dfrac{h_s}{h_b})^3\\\\\dfrac{V_s}{V_b}=(\dfrac{3}{5})^3\\\\\dfrac{V_s}{V_b}=0.216\\\\V_s=393\times 0.216\\\\V_s=84.8\\\\or\\\\V=85\ cm^3$

So, the volume of the smaller cylinder is equal to $85\ cm^3$ .
