Given:

Total money saved up is $25
CD that has to be bought costs $12.99
Birthday card has to be bought costs $2.50

To Find:

An inequality to find the most money that can be used for other spending.

Solution:

The required inequality is $x\leq 9.51$ .

Explanation:

Let x denote the money I can spend for other purposes. Then x has to be less than or equal to the left over money of my savings after the CD and card are bought.

The CD and card together cost me $12.99 + 2.50 = $15.49

My savings are $25.

So, after buying the CD and card, I'll be left with $25 - 15.49 = $9.51

Thus all my other expenditure denoted by x has to be less than or equal to 9.51.

The required inequality is $x\leq 9.51$ .

12.99+2.50=15.49
20.00-15.49= 14.51
X=CD
Y=Birthday card
Z=total
L=money left
X+Y=Z
20-z=L
(I hope this helps at least a little?)

A conical pile of road salt has a diameter of 112 feet and a slant height of 65 feet. After a storm, the linear dimensions of th

QveST [7]

we know that

the volume of a cone is equal to

$V= \frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2}h$

in this problem

the radius is equal to

$r= \frac{112}{2}= 56ft$

1) <u>Find the height of the cone before the storm</u>

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem find the height

$h^{2} = l^{2}-r^{2}$

$l=65 ft$

$h^{2} = 65^{2}-56^{2}$

$h^{2} = 1,089$

$h=33 ft$

2) <u>Find the volume before the storm</u>

$V= \frac{1}{3}*\pi* 56^{2}*33$

$V=34,496\pi\ ft^{3}$

3) <u>Find the volume after the storm</u>

After a storm, the linear dimensions of the pile are 1/3 of the original dimensions

so

r=(56/3) ft

h=(33/3)=11 ft

$V= \frac{1}{3}*\pi* (56/3)^{2}*11$

$V= 1,277.63\pi\ ft^{3}$

<u>4) Find how this change affect the volume of the pile</u>

Divide the volume after the storm by the volume before the storm

$\frac{1,277.63 \pi }{34,496 \pi } = \frac{1}{27}$

therefore

<u>the answer part a) is</u>

The volume of the pile after the storm is $\frac{1}{27}$ times the original volume

<u>Part b)</u> Estimate the number of lane miles that were covered with salt

5) <u>Find the amount of salt that was used during the storm</u>

$=34,496 \pi - 1,277.63 \pi \\= 33.218.37 \pi \\= 104,358.59\ ft^{3}$

6) <u>Find the pounds of road salt used</u>

$104,358.59*80=8,348,687.2\ pounds$

7) <u>Find the number of lane miles that were covered with salt</u>

$8,348,687.2/350=23,853.39 \ lane\ miles$

therefore

<u>the answer part b) is</u>

the number of lane miles that were covered with salt is $23,853.39 \ lane\ miles$

<u>Part c) </u>How many lane miles can be covered with the remaining salt? Round your answer to the nearest lane mile

the remaining salt is equal to $1,277.63\pi\ ft^{3}$

$1,277.63\pi\ ft^{3}=4,013.79\ ft^{3}$

8) <u>Find the pounds of road salt </u>

$4,013.79*80=321,103.20\ pounds$

9) <u>Find the number of lane miles </u>

$321,103.20/350=917.44 \ lane\ miles$

therefore

<u>the answer part c) is</u>

the number of lane miles is $917 \ lane\ miles$

What are the solutions of 8x2 = 6 + 22x? Check all of the boxes that apply.

Sholpan [36]

Transpose all the terms in the left hand side of the equation. The equation then becomes,
8x² - 22x - 6 =0
Divide both sides of the equation by 2,
4x² - 11x - 3 = 0

In this equation, A = 4, B = -11, and C = -3

With the variables identified, the quadratic equation can be used to identify the roots,
x = (-B +/- √B² - 4AC) / 2A
The values of x in the equation are,
<em> x = 3 and x = -1/4
</em><em />Thus, the one of the answer to this item is the third choice, x = 3. <em>
