Question: One number is one less than a second number. Twice the first is 4 more than 5 times the second. Find the numbers.

Answer:

The numbers are -3 and -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let the numbers be a and b

From the first statement:

a = b - 1

From the second:

2a = 4 + 5b

Required

Find a and b

Substitute b - 1 for a in the second equation

2(b-1) = 4 + 5b

2b-2 = 4 + 5b

Collect like terms

2b- 5b = 2+ 4

-3b = 6

b =-2

Recall that:

a = b - 1

a = -2 - 1

a  =- 3

A sphere and a cylinder have the same radius and height. The volume of the cylinder is 18 cm
Naily [24]

Answer:

12 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

the volume of the sphere = 4/3 πr³

the volume of the cylinder (h=2r)= πr².2r

= 2πr³

the volume ratio of S : C =

4/3 πr³ : 2 πr³

= 4/3 : 2

= 4 : 6

= 2 : 3

so, the volume of the Sphere =

2/3 × 18 = 12 cm³

Solve by factoring.<br><br> 3q^2+q-14=0
hodyreva [135]
When doing this equation, draw a big X on your paper. At the top of the x you do A times C. At the bottom, you put the B. To factor, you need to find what two numbers MULTIPLY together to equal the A times C, and that add together to get the B.

In all you will get (q+7) (q-6)

A parachutist's speed during a free fall reaches 207 kilometers per hour. What is this speed in meters per second? At this speed
Mamont248 [21]
<span>The speed is 57.5 m/s and the parachutist will fall 1150 m in 20 seconds.

Explanation<span>:
We start out with the ratio 207 km/1 hr.

We know that 1 km = 1000 m; this means 207 km = 207*1000 = 207000 m. This gives us 207000 m/1 hr.

We know that 1 hr = 60 minutes, so we have 207000 m/60 min.

We also know that 1 min = 60 seconds, so 60 min = 60*60 = 3600 sec; this gives us 207000 m/3600 sec.

Dividing this, we get 57.5 m/s.

In 20 seconds, the parachutist will fall 57.5(20) = 1150 m.</span></span>
