Correct answer.
Consider the two similar cylinders. The heights of both cylinders are given, along with the diameter of the smaller cylinder. What is the diameter
of the larger cylinder?

А
28 inches
B
20 inches
18 inches

18 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The heights of both cylinders are 48 inches and 32 inches. Diameter of the larger cylinder is 12 inches

To find: diameter of the larger cylinder

Solution:

Height of the larger cylinder (H) = 48 inches

Height of the smaller cylinder (h) = 32 inches

Diameter of the smaller cylinder (d) = 12 inches

Radius of the smaller cylinder (r) = d/2 =12/ 2= 6 inches

As two cylinders are similar, their heights and radii are proportional.

Diameter of the larger cylinder = 2R = 2(9) = 18 inches

x ≥ 18 is your answer

step-by-step explanation:

let "a number" = x

(2/3)x + 17 ≥ 29

isolate the variable (x). do the opposite of pemdas (parenthesis, exponent (& root), multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).

first, subtract 17 from both sides.

(2/3)x + 17 (-17) ≥ 29 (-17)

(2/3)x ≥ 29 - 17

(2/3)x ≥ 12

next, multiply 3/2 to both sides to isolate the x

(3/2)(2/3)x ≥ 12(3/2)

x ≥ 12(3/2)

simplify. multiply, then divide

x ≥ (12 * 3)/2

x ≥ (36)/2

x ≥ 18

x ≥ 18 is your answer
