We know -48 came from (a)(-6), the "L" in "FOIL".

If -48 = -6a, then a = 8.

Now with a=8, go ahead and FOIL (x+8)(x-6) to find m.

Find the values of x and y. Show your work.

san4es73 [151]

Use proportions:

(7x-4)/31 = (4y+8)/24 = (y+2)/6

Multiply:

6*(7x-4) = 31*(y+2)---> 42x-24 = 31y+62 ---> 11y = 86, y = 86/11

I don;t like that is looks 'ugly', instead of sth like y = 88/11=8. I think 86/11 is the answer. Check the math! :)

Find the 100% of that. Since plain hot dog is just 26% of total. So $45.50 multiplied by 100/26. Which is $175

One cylinder has a volume that is 8 Centimeters cubed less than StartFraction 7 over 8 EndFraction of the volume of a second cyl

mojhsa [17]

The correct equation is:

$216 = \frac{7}{8} \times x - 8$

The volume of second cylinder is 256 centimeter cubed

Solution:

Given that,

One cylinder has a volume that is 8cm less than 7/8 of the volume of a second cylinder

The first cylinder’s volume is 216 centimeter cubed

From given,

Let "x" be the volume of second cylinder

Therefore,

Volume of first cylinder = 7/8 of the volume of a second cylinder - 8

$216 = \frac{7}{8} \times x - 8$

$216 = \frac{7x}{8}-8\\\\216 = \frac{7x-64}{8}\\\\7x - 64 = 8 \times 216\\\\7x - 64 = 1728\\\\7x = 1728 + 64\\\\7x = 1792\\\\Divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 7\\\\x = 256$

Thus the volume of second cylinder is 256 centimeter cubed
