Answer:

  • -1

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Let the number be x, and we have equation:</u>

  • 16x + 2 = -7x - 21
  • 16x + 7x = - 21 - 2
  • 23x = - 23
  • x = -1

The number is -1

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

"a number" = x

-- <u>"Two more</u> than <u>16 times</u> <u>a number</u>." | 16 times a number means "16x" | Two more than just means add 2.

(16x + 2)

-- "Is the same as" means equals.

(16x + 2) =

-- <u>21 less than</u> <u>the product of -7</u> and <u>the number</u> | The product of -7 and the number means "-7x" | 21 less than means subtract 21.

(16x + 2) = (-7x - 21)

-- solve for x.

(16x + 7x) = (-21 - 2)

-- combine like terms.

23x = -23

-- Divide.

x = -1

If g(x) = 4x2 - 16 were shifted 9 units to the right and 1 down, what would the new equation be? A. h(x) = 4(x + 9)2 – 17
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you move down 1 unit, you simply subtract 9 units from the given equation.

g(x) = 4x^2 - 16 - 1

g(x) = 4x^2 - 17

Shifting right is a little bit tricky. To shift right, you have to do the opposite of what you would do on the number line. The x has to become x - 9 because the x value (you will learn later) is part of a distance and distances always subtract one from the other.

The wrong way to do it is in answer A.

B is the correct answer

h(x) = 4(x - 9)^2 - 17

Answer:

9 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the pyramid be h cm, then the height of the cuboid is (15 - h) cm.

Volume of the pyramid:

= 1/3 * h * s^2      where s is the length of a side of the square base.

= hs^2/3 cm^3

Volume of the cuboid:

= s^2(15 - h).

So we have:

hs^2/ 3 = 300.......................(1)

s^2(15 - h) = 600..................(2)

From  equation (1) :

h s^2 = 900

s^2 = 900/h

Now substitute for s^2 in  equation (2) :

(900/h)(15 - h) = 600

Multiply through by h:

900(15 - h) = 600h

13500 - 900h = 600h

1500h = 13500

h = 9 cm (answer).                  brainliest?
