Answer:

x=22

Step-by-step explanation:

They are put in ratio form so

\frac{2x  + 1}{15}  =  \frac{x - 1}{7}

so crisscross them

7 (2x+1)=15 (x-1)

14x+7=15x-15(collect the like terms)

14x-15x=-15-7

-x=-22 (divide both sides by -1 to find x)

x=22

(2 x + 1):15=(x-1):7
7(2x+1)=15(x-1)
14x+7=15x-15
14x-15x=-15-7
-x=-22
x=22

Morgan is arranging a bowling party for his friends. The party room at the bowling alley is $35. The bowling alley offers a part
vlada-n [284]
Your inequality is (x being number of people):
175≥35+10x+3x

First, combine like terms so your new inequality is:
175≥35+13x
Then subtract 35 from both sides which makes it:
140≥13x
then divide 140 by 13 making it:
<span>10.769≥x
</span>But because you can't have .769 of a person the actual answer is 10
then you have to subtract 1 because he isn't including himself and there is the answer!:
9≥x

Use factoring to simplify the expression x^2-x-6/x-3 assume that x does not equal 3
Gre4nikov [31]
This works out beautifully.  You COULD use long division here, but since your numerator is a quadratic, your first instinct should be to try and factor it.  If you factor it, it works out to be (x - 3)(x + 2).  Now it just so happens that when you do that, the (x - 3) in the numerator will cancel with the (x - 3) in the denominator leaving you with one sad and lonely (x + 2) as your answer.

A game shop sells marbles in clear plastic cylinders. Four marbles fit across the diameter of the cylinder and 10 marbles fit fr
slega [8]
To start, you know that this question is asking for the surface area of one of the cylinders, and the formula to finding the surface area of a cylinder is A=2πrh+2<span>πr^2.

Now, to find the surface area, you first need to figure out the height of the plastic cylinder and its radius. 
Since you know that the diameter (twice the radius) of the cylinder is equivalent to 4 marbles, and each marble has a diameter of 2 cm, the diameter of the cylinder would be 8 cm. Then, to find its radius, you divide by 2, so its radius is 4.
Now, since you know that the height of the cylinder is 10 marbles, you multiply 10 by 2 to get that the height is 20 cm tall. 
Since you now have the values of the height and the radius, plug the values into the surface area of a cylinder formula (r is radius and h is height).
</span>A=2π(4)(20)+2π(4)^2.
<span>Assuming that pi is 3.14, when you simplify this using PEMDAS, you get 
502.4+100.48 which then simplifies to 602.88, the area of the plastic to make one cylinder.
