I agree with what that person told you. The expression -2(x+10) is equivalent to -2x-20
Multiply the outer -2 with the inner x to get -2 times x = -2x
Multiply the outer -2 with the inner term 10 to get -2 times 10 = -20
So overall, -2(x+10) = -2x-20
--------------------------------------------
So that's how we're able to go from this

to this

The only thing that changes is the left side. The inequality sign will not flip. It only flips if we multiply both sides by a negative number.
Solution: Z= -9
Reasoning: -6 - 3 = -9
V= 3.14r^2h
10/2= r
5^2= 25
(3.14)(25)(6)
V=471
Answer:
The right answer is: 14,256 cubic inches
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, let's identify the dimensions of the tank and convert them to inches
Knowing that 1 Feet = 12 inches
So, the dimensions of the tank, expresed in inches will be:
Height (H): 2 ft. x 12 = 24 inches
Width (W): 1.50 ft. x 12 = 18 inches
Lenght (L): 3 ft. x 12 = 36 inches
Before calculating the volume of water inside the thank, We must consider that <em>there are two inches of empty space at the top.</em>
So , We must substract 2 inches to the height to calculate the volume.
Then, the height used for calculating the volume will be:
H'= 24 inches - 2 inches = 22 inches
Then,
Volume (V)= W x L x H'
V= (18 inches) x (36 inches) x (22 inches)
V= 14,256 cubic inches
