Length: 2x-1, width: x

A=LW

120=x(2x-1)   120=2x^2-x   0=2x^2-x-120, Factor (x-8)(2x+15)=0

x=8 is the width and 15 is the length

Help<br> Find the volume of this cone.<br> Use 3 for TT.
natima [27]

Answer:

180ft^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cone:

V=\pi r^{2} \frac{h}{3}

Take \pi as 3, as mentioned in the question

'r' is 'radius' ⇒ {diameter is given so divide by 2: 12/2 = 6}

'h' is 'height'

V=(3)(6)^{2} (\frac{5}{3} )

V=(3)(36)(\frac{5}{3} )

V=108(\frac{5}{3} )

{multiply 108 with 5 and then divide the answer by 3}

V=108 × 5

V=540

V=540/3

V=180ft^{3}

5 more than 3 times a variable, x, is 23
Monica [59]

3x + 5 = 23

5 more than(addition) 3 times(multiplication) a variable(x) is(equals) 23

(you add 5 to 3x)

If you need to solve for "x", you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the equation:

3x + 5 = 23        Subtract 5 on both sides

3x + 5 - 5 = 23 - 5

3x = 18      Divide 3 on both sides to get "x" by itself

\frac{3x}{3} =\frac{18}{3}

x = 6
