The answer is b just take the decimal off and subtract
Answer:
A.) 1018 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The largest sphere will have a diameter equaling the length of the cube (see picture).
If the side length of the cube is 18 inches, the diameter of the sphere is also 18 inches. Use the surface area formula for a circle:

For this formula, we need the radius of the sphere. Divide the diameter by 2:

The radius is 9 inches. Plug this into the equation:

Simplify the equation:

Round the result to the nearest whole number:
→
The surface area is 1,018 inches².
:Done
Picture:
In a 2D version, we can clearly see that if the circle fits snuggly inside of the square, the diameter of a sphere is the same as the length of a side of the cube.
Set up the equation ... 60 + 40X = total charges... where X is the number of hours (8.5)
60 + 40(8.5) = ?
60 + 340 = ?
400 = total charges
You might need a maths degree for this one, I believe it’s 4 but don’t quote me on that.
Solution:
Using Substitution Method:
-4x+7y=-5 (Equation 1)
x-3y=-5 (Equation 2)
get the value of x from Equation 2
x=3y-5 (Equation 3)
Put the value of x from Equation 3 in Equation 1
-4(3y-5)+7y=-5
-4(3y)+20+7y=-5
-12y+7y=-5-20
-5y=-25
Negative sign on both sides cancels each other
y=25/5
y=5
Putting value of y in equation 3
x=3(5)-5
x=15-5
x=10
Therefore, [x,y]=[10,5]
Using Elimination Method
-4x+7y=-5 (Equation 1)
x-3y=-5 (Equation 2)
Multiply equation 2 with -4 in order to eliminate the x term
-4(x-3y)=-5*4
-4x+12y=20 (Equation 3)
Adding Equation 1 and 3
-4x+7y=-5
-4x+12y=20
+ - = - (Change Of Sign with x and y terms)
-----------------
0x-5y = -25
-5y=-25
y=5
Substituting y’s value is Equation 1
-4x+7(5)=-5
-4x+35=-5
-4x=-40
Cancellation of negative sign on both sides
x=40/4
x=10
[x,y]=[10,5]
