Question

ms. joseph is dropping marbles into a cylinder one at a time. she records the volume of what’s in the cylinder after each marble is dropped in. find the volume if there were 8 marbles. you found that adding 8 marbles would cause the volume in the cylinder to increase by 16 milliliters. now add the initial volume, 10, to the volume increase caused by the marbles, 16, to find the volume in the cylinder if there were 8 marbles. slope: 2 vertical intercept: 10 volume = initial volume + volume of marbles v = 10 + 2x v = 10 + 2·8 v = 10 + 16 v = \square

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute x=8 into volume formula

$V = 10 + 2x = 10 + 2 \cdot 8$

Step2: Calculate volume from marbles

$2 \cdot 8 = 16$

Step3: Add initial volume to total

$V = 10 + 16$

Answer:

26 milliliters
