Mathematics

marta [7]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

a = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x = 7 is a solution, substitute x = 7 into the equation and solve for a

4(7) - 2(7 + a) = 8 , that is

28 - 2(7 + a) = 8 ( subtract 28 from both sides )

- 2(7 + a) = - 20 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

7 + a = 10 ( subtract 7 from both sides )

a = 3

DochEvi [55]

Answer: 178 ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

A cylinder has the formula V=pi radius ^2 height

A cone has the formula V= 1/3 pi radius ^2 height

So 1/3 of the volume of the cylinder is the volume of a cone

1/3 of 534 = 178 ft^3

At every company meeting, the president speaks for 20 minutes and then takes questions from her employees. Let q represent the n
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

t = 20 + q (minutes)

Step-by-step explanation:

The meeting consists of speaking and Question & Answer (Q&A) sessions.

Speaking session = 20 minutes

Q&A session = q minutes

Total number of minutes spent for the two sessions = 20 + q (minutes)

But total number of minutes meeting lasted = t minutes.

Therefore, t = 20 + q (because they both represent the total number of minutes the meeting lasted)
