Answer:

The number is -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an equation:

Variable n = number

12 + 7n = n - 6

Assuming the question is solve for n, isolate the variable:

Subtract n from both sides:

12 + 6n = -6

Subtract 12 from both sides:

6n = -18

Divide by 6 on both sides:

n = -3

Check your work:

12 + 7(-3) = -3 - 6

12 - 21 = -3 - 6

-9 = -9

Correct

For a party, three solid cheese balls with diameters of 2 inches, 4 inches, and 6 inches, respectively, were combined to form a

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

The radius of the new cheese ball formed is approximately 6.603 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Radius of three cheese ball = 2 inches, 4 inches, and 6 inches

They were combined to form a new cheese ball.

Thus, we can write

Volume of three cheese balls = Volume of new cheese ball.

Let r be the radius of new cheese ball.

Volume of sphere =

$\displaystyle\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

Putting values, we get:

$\displaystyle\frac{4}{3}\pi r_1^3 + \displaystyle\frac{4}{3}\pi r_2^3 +\displaystyle\frac{4}{3}\pi r_3^3 =\displaystyle\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3\\\\\frac{4}{3}\pi(2^3 + 4^3 + 6^3) = \displaystyle\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3\\\\2^3 + 4^3 + 6^3 = r^3\\\Rightarrow 288 = r^3\\\Rightarrow r = (288)^{\frac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow r \approx 6.603$

Thus, the radius of the new cheese ball formed is approximately 6.603 inches.

You are dealt two cards successively without replacement from a standard deck of 52 playing cards. find the probability that the

Alenkasestr [34]

We have four two cards in 52 cards and four ten cards in the same playing cards
to get our first four cards we choose one from the whole set of 52 cards
but to get the next card with ten we choose them out of 51 because we took the first card with value two and we have not replaced it
this gives us
4/52*4/51=0.006
