The temperature of the substance at 10am  =  63.95°F

Let the temperature at 10 am be x

The temperature changes by −8.7°F from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m

The temperature at 1 pm = x  -  8.7

At 5 p.m., the temperature is 33.5°F

The temperature at 5 pm = 33.5°F

The temperature at 5 pm is 2/3 of what the temperature was at 1 p.m

33.5 = \frac{2}{3} ( x-8.7 )

Solve for x

3(33.5)  =  2(x  -  8.7)

110.5  =  2x  -  17.4

2x  =  110.5 +  17.4

2x   =  127.9

x   =  127.9/2

x   =  63.95°F

The temperature of the substance at 10am =  63.95°F

Hi there! 

The formula for the volume of a cone is V = 1/3(pi x r^2 x h). Using this formula, we can solve for the volume of the cone.

WORK:
V = 1/3(3.14 x 6.5^2 x 14)
V = 1857.31 / 3
V = 619.10 cm^3

ANSWER:
A) 619.10cm^3

Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!

Answer:

  • x = 15/p
  • x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given expression</u>

  • 4(px+1)=64

<u>Solving for x</u>

  • 4px + 4 = 64
  • 4px = 60
  • px = 15
  • x = 15/p

<u>Value of x when p= - 5</u>

  • x = 15/(-5) = -3
