Answer: The value of x is 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
TO find the volume of a cube you cube any side length. so if the side length is 6.
6^3 = 216
To find the surface area of a cube you will square one of the side lengths and multiply it by 6.
so the side length is 6 and 6 squared is 36
36*6 = 216
Answers:
- Total equation: x+y = 80
- Legs equation: 2x+4y = 248
- How many ducks? 36
- How many cows? 44
====================================================
Further explanation:
- x = number of ducks
- y = number of cows
x+y = 80 is the total equation (ie the head count equation) since we assume each animal has 1 head, and there are 80 heads total.
That equation can be solved to y = 80-x after subtracting x from both sides.
The legs equation is 2x+4y = 248 because...
- 2x = number of legs from all the ducks only
- 4y = number of legs from all the cows only
- 2x+4y = total number of legs from both types of animals combined
We're told there are 248 legs overall, so that's how we ended up with 2x+4y = 248
------------
Let's plug y = 80-x into the second equation and solve for x.
2x+4y = 248
2x+4( y ) = 248
2x+4( 80-x ) = 248
2x+320-4x = 248
-2x+320 = 248
-2x = 248-320
-2x = -72
x = -72/(-2)
x = 36
There are 36 ducks
Now use this x value to find y
y = 80-x
y = 80-36
y = 44
There are 44 cows.
------------
Check:
36 ducks + 44 cows = 80 animals total
36*2 + 44*4 = 72 + 176 = 248 legs total
The answers are confirmed.
Answer:
-24
Step-by-step explanation:
-8/5 ( -3/2 ) ( -10 )
-8/5 ( -3/2 ) = 24/10 = 12/5 or 2 2/5
12/5 ( -10 ) = -120/5 = -24
<span>A 96% confidence interval means that 96% of the time you can believe that the result will fall into a range of numbers. In the case of weight lifting this would mean that 96% of the time, the proportion of weight-lifting injuries were accidental would fall in between the two parameters set forth.</span>
