answer

the number of buses is 3

the number of cars is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

total number of the students=165

total number of the vehicles=9

let x represent the number of cars

let y represent the number of buses

x+y=9...........equation 1

(the number of the cars plus the number of the buses= to the number of vehicles )

5x + 45y=165.......equation 2

(the number of student the car can hold plus the number of student the bus can hold= to the total number of the student in a class)

x+y=9.......eqn 1

5x +45y=165....eqn 2

make x the subject of the formula in eqn 1

x+y=9

x= 9-y

substitute for x= 9-y in eqn 2

5(9-y)+45y=165

45-5y+45y=165

-5y+45y=165-45

40y=120

divide both sides by 40

40y÷40=120÷40

y=3

since y represent number of buses,the numbet of bus is 3

Also,substitute for y=3 in eqn 1

eqn 1 is x+y=9

x+3=9

x=9-3

x=6

therefore,the number of cars is 6.

Hi! how do i find surface area of a cylinder? for some reason i can’t get the right answer
asambeis [7]
SA=2\pi r^2+2\pi rh

Use the formula above to find the surface area of a cylinder.

For the given cylinder the given data is the height (6mi) and diameter (16mi), use the diameter to find the radius:

\begin{gathered} r=\frac{d}{2} \\  \\ r=\frac{16mi}{2}=8mi \end{gathered}

Surface area:

\begin{gathered} SA=2\pi(8mi)\placeholder{⬚}^2+2\pi(8mi)(6mi) \\ SA=128\pi mi^2+96\pi mi^2 \\ SA=224\pi mi^2 \end{gathered}Then, the surface area of the given cylinder is: 224π square miles

Let​ R(x), C(x), and​ P(x) be,​ respectively, the​ revenue, cost, and​ profit, in​ dollars, from the production and sale of x it
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

P(x) = -0.004x^2 - 3.7x - 50

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find profit P(x).

This can be easily found using a formula for Profit given the Revenue and Cost.

Profit = Revenue - Cost

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

Given that:

R(x) = 6x

C(x) = 0.004x^2 + 2.3x + 50

to find P(x) we can simply subtract R(x) by C(x).

P(x) = R(x) - C(x)

P(x) = (6x) - (0.004x^2 + 2.3x + 50)

P(x) = 6x - 0.004x^2 - 2.3x - 50

and finally, after simplify this equation subtracting 6x by 2.3x.

this is the equation for the profit P(x)

P(x) = -0.004x^2 - 3.7x - 50
