Answer:

-13/2

Step-by-step explanation:

7(y+3)=5y+8

7y+21=5y+8

7y-5y+21=8

2y+21=8

2y=8-21

2y=-13

y=-13/2

Answer:

y = -6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

simplify: 7y+21=5y+8

put like-terms together and simplify: 2y=-13

(like-terms: 7y-5y=8-21)

divide both sides by 2: y=-6.5

A cubical container is 3/4 filled with water. It contains 4.374l of water. Find the base area of the container.

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

The base area is 3.24 dm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total volume of the cube be x l

3/4 of this is 4.374 l

Thus, we have it that;

3/4 * x = 4.374

3x = 4 * 4.374

x = (4 * 4.374)/3

x = 5.832 L

The volume of a cube is the length of its side raised to the power of 3

Let us have the length as y

so;

y^3 = 5.832

y = cube root of 5.832

y = 1.8 dm

The area of the base is simply the side length raised to the power of 2

we have this as:

1.8 * 1.8 = 3.24 dm^2

A car travels 1/6 of the distance between two cities in 3/5 of an hour. At this rate, what fraction of the distance between the

Delvig [45]

Answer:

$\frac{5}{18}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance traveled by a car between two cities = 1/6 distance

Time taken to travel between the two cities = 3/5 hours

Therefore, to find how much of the distance the car can travel in 1 hour, we need to divide the given distance by the given time to get:

( $\frac{1}{6}$ ) ÷ ( $\frac{3}{5}$ )

Change the later fraction to its reciprocal to solve:

$\frac{1}{6}$ × $\frac{5}{3}$ = $\frac{5}{18}$

Therefore, in one hour, the car can travel 5/18 of the distance.
