This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

For what value of a is the volume of the tetrahedron formed by the coordinate planes and the plane (x/a) + (y/10) + (z/6) = 1 equal to 10?

Answer: the value of a is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

Volume of tetrahedron bounded by plane (x/a) + (y/10) + (z/6) = 1

and coordinate plane is; V = 1/6|abc|

(x/a) + (y/10) + (z/6) = 1

volume = 10

so

10 = 1/6 | a × 10 × 6 |

60 = a × 10 × 6

60 = 60a

a = 60 / 60

a = 1

Therefore the value of a is 1

Jon recently drove to visit his parents who live 280 miles away. On his way there his average speed was 9 miles per hour faster
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

11 mph and 20 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent his average speed going by r1 and his average speed returning by r2.  We know that r1 = r2 + 9.

Recall that distance = rate times time, so time = distance / rate.

Time spent going was (280 mi) / r1, or (280 mi) / (r2 + 9 mph).

Time spend returning was (280 mi) / r2.

The total time was 14 hrs, so (280 mi) / (r2 + 9 mph) + (280 mi) / r2 = 14 hrs

Note that there is only one variable here:  r2.  Find r2, and then from r2, find r1:

Dividing all 3 terms by 14 hrs yields:

  20            20

---------- + ----------- = 1

r2 + 9         r2

The LCD here is r2(r2 + 9).  Thus, we have:

      20r2                    (r2 +  9)(r2)

------------------- = 1 or  ------------------

 (r2 +  9)(r2)               (r2 +  9)(r2)

Then 20(r2) = (r2)^2 + 9(r2).  This is reducible by dividing all terms by r2:

20 = r2 + 9, or 11 = r2.  Then r1 = 11 + 9, or 20.

The two rates were 11 mph and 20 mph.

Ethan sold 2 3 gallon of lemonade. Kayla sold some lemonade too. Together, they sold 1 1 4 gallons. Who sold more lemonade, Etha
zhenek [66]

Step-by-step explanation:

Ethan sold 2/3 gallon of lemonade.

Kayla sold some lemonade too.

Together they sold 1 1/4 gallons.

Subtract 2/3 from 1 1/4 as follows :

S=1\dfrac{1}{4}-\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{5}{4}-\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{7}{12}

So, Kayla sold 7/12 gallons of lemonade.

As 2/3 is more than 7/12, it means Ethan sold more lemonade.

\dfrac{2}{3}-\dfrac{7}{12}=\dfrac{1}{12}

It means Eathn sold 1/12 more lemonade.
