Answer :
The correct equation is:
[tex]216 = \frac{7}{8} \times x - 8[/tex]
The volume of second cylinder is 256 centimeter cubed
Solution:
Given that,
One cylinder has a volume that is 8cm less than 7/8 of the volume of a second cylinder
The first cylinder’s volume is 216 centimeter cubed
From given,
Let "x" be the volume of second cylinder
Therefore,
Volume of first cylinder = 7/8 of the volume of a second cylinder - 8
[tex]216 = \frac{7}{8} \times x - 8[/tex]
[tex]216 = \frac{7x}{8}-8\\\\216 = \frac{7x-64}{8}\\\\7x - 64 = 8 \times 216\\\\7x - 64 = 1728\\\\7x = 1728 + 64\\\\7x = 1792\\\\Divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 7\\\\x = 256[/tex]
Thus the volume of second cylinder is 256 centimeter cubed
Answer:
7/8X-8=216 x=256
Step-by-step explanation:
7/8x-8=216
+8 +8
7/8x=224
7/8 7/8
x=256
