The second term in the expression represents a. Finn's earnings at the end of the week.

To answer the question, we need to know what mathematical expressions are.

<h3>What are mathematical expression?</h3>

Mathematical expressions are expressions that show the relationship between two variables.

<h3>Finn's earnings</h3>

Now, let z be the number of crates Finn sold.

Since Finn earns $5 per crate, the total amount he earns at the end of the week is t = amount per crate × number of crates

= 5 × z

= 5z

<h3>Ellie's earnings</h3>

Now since Ellie earns $20 more than Finn, the amount Ellie earns is

T = 20 + t

= 20 + 5z.

So, 5z the second term in the expression represents Finn's earnings at the end of the week.

So, the second term in the expression represents a. Finn's earnings at the end of the week.

A box has a volume of 192 cubic inches, a length that is twice as long as its width, and a height that is 2 inches greater than

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Therefore the dimension of the cuboid is 8 inches×4 inches ×6 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cuboid : A cuboid is a three dimension shape. The length ,breadth and height of a cuboid are not same.

A cuboid has 6 faces.
A cuboid contains 8 vertices.
A cuboid contains 12 edges .
The total surface area of a cuboid is

= 2(length×breadth+breadth×height+length×height) square units

The dimension of a cuboid is written as length×breadth×height.

The volume is( length×breadth×height) cubic units

Given that the volume of the box is 192 cubic inches.

Let x inches be the width of the cuboid.

Since the length is twice as long as its width.

Then length = 2x inches

Again height is 2 inches longer than width.

Then height = (x+2) inches.

Therefore the volume of the cuboid is

$=[x\times 2x\times (x+2)]$ cubic inches

$=[2x^2(x+2)]$ cubic inches

$=(2x^3+4x^2)$ cubic inches

According to the problem,

$2x^3+4x^2=192$

$\Rightarrow 2x^3+4x^2-192=0$

$\Rightarrow 2(x^3+2x^2-96)=0$

$\Rightarrow (x^3+2x^2-96)=0$

$\Rightarrow x^3-4x^2+6x^2-24x+24x-96=0$

$\Rightarrow x^2(x-4) +6x(x-4)+24(x-4)=0$

$\Rightarrow (x-4)(x^2+6x+24)=0$

Therefore x=4

Since the all zeros of x²+6x+24 =0 is negative.

Therefore breadth = 4 inches

length=(2×4) inches=8 inches

and height = (4+2)inches = 6 inches.

Therefore the dimension of the cuboid is 8 inches×4 inches ×6 inches.
