Kiran wrote the expression x−10 for this number puzzle: “Pick a number, add -2, and multiply by 5.” Lin thinks Kiran made a mistake.
How can she convince Kiran he made a mistake?
What would be a correct expression for this number puzzle?

Step-by-step explanation:

the number is represented by x. you need to add -2 first then multiply by 5.

thus, the correct expression will be:

( x + -2) *5 = (x-2) *5 = 5(x-2)

for e.g, let x be 3.

acc to the puzzle,

3+-2 = 3-2=1

1*5= 5

using Kiran's expression:

x-10; 3-10= -7

here you can see the answer is wrong.

using the "correct expression" :

5(x-2) = 5( 3-2)

= 5(1)

= 5.

hope this helped you!

answer: ur v dumb

step-by-step explanation:

answer: ratio of volume of cone (with 3 times the height and equal diameter) to volume of cylinder is 2 to 1. the value of π is not used.

step-by-step explanation:

radius is diameter/2 = 4.

area of circle is π r^2.

volume of cylinder is height × area of base = hπr^2 = 3(4^2) π = 48π cubic inches.

not knowing the formula for volume of cone, i calculate it using calculus (which is for calculating things).

volume of cone is integral 0 to h area(y) dy. area(y) is π r(y)^2. r(y) runs r to zero as y runs zero to h, r(0) = r, r(h) = 0.

r(y) = r - r/h y

area(y) = π (r - r/h y)^2 = π (r^2 - 2r^2y/h + r^2y^2/h^2) = π r^2(1-2y/h+y^2/h^2)

antiderivative area(y) = π r^2 (y-y^2/h+y^3/(3h^2))

integral 0 to h = π r^2(h-h^2/h+h^3/(3h^2) - (0)) = π r^2(h - h + h/3) = π r^2(h/3) = π/3 r^2 h

volume of this cone is π/3(4^2)18 cubic inches.

= 6 16 π = 96π cubic inches.

cone has twice the volume, 96/48.

cone height is 6 times the cylinder.

ratio of volume formula: π r^2 cancels.

cone over cylinder ratio is 6h/3 to h, 2 to 1.
