X = -7, have a good day !

6 0

Answer:

x=−7

Solving for X:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of your equation.

5x−22=7x−8

Step 2: Subtract 7x from both sides.

5x−22−7x=7x−8−7x

−2x−22=−8

Step 3: Add 22 to both sides.

−2x−22+22=−8+22

−2x=14

Step 4: Divide both sides by -2.

-2x/-2 = 14/-2

^ x = -7

THEREFORE:

x is −7

Answer:

462962.96 naira

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is complicated by the use of two different units. I chose to use inches for the dimensions of the carpet.

200 in long

50 ft wide = 50 x 12 = 600 in.

Area = 200 x 600 = 120000 in^2

A square yard is a square 36 in. x 36 in. = 1296 in^2

Divide 120000 by 1296 to find out how many square yards of carpet you'll need.

120000 / 1296 = 92.59

Multiply by 5000 naira/yd^2 = 462962.96

Using conversion of units and volume of a cylinder, it is found that 23.17 cubic yards of concrete are needed, option D.

The volume of a cylinder of radius r and height h is given by:

$V = \pi r^2h$

In this problem:

We want the volume in cubic yards, thus, the units of radius and height have to be in yards.
32 inches in diameter, thus 16 inches of radius. Since each inch has 0.0278 yards, this is a radius of 0.44 yards, thus $r = 0.44$ .
Height of 8 feet, and since each feet has 0.33 yards, this is a height of 2.67 yards, thus $h = 2.67$
14 poles, thus the volume is multiplied by 14.
