Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

28−(3x+4)=2(x+6)+x

We need to use the distributive property for the right side.

28−3x−4=(2)(x)+(2)(6)+x)

28−3x−4=2x+2+x

−3x+24=3x+12

From here we need to subtract 3x from both side.

−3x+24−3x=3x+12−3x

6x+24=12

Transfer +24 on the right side.

6x=12−24

6x=−12

Finally, divide both sides by −6

6x/-6 = -12/-6

x=2

Blanchard City's water tower is cylindrical in shape and has a height of 40 feet and a radius of 18 feet. What is the exact volu
Yakvenalex [24]

The formula for volume of a cylinder is:

Volume = PI x r^2 x h, where r is the radius and h is the height.

Volume = PI x 18^2 x 40

Volume = PI x 324 x 40

Volume = PI x 12,960

The exact volume would be 12,960PI cubic ft.

The decimal answer would vary depending on what value of PI is used.
