The largest possible volume of the given box is; 96.28 ft³

<h3>How to maximize volume of a box?</h3>

Let b be the length and the width of the base (length and width are the same since the base is square).

Let h be the height of the box.

The surface area of the box is;

S = b² + 4bh

We are given S = 100 ft². Thus;

b² + 4bh = 100

h = (100 - b²)/4b

Volume of the box in terms of b will be;

V(b) = b²h = b² * (100 - b²)/4b

V(b) = 25b - b³/4

The volume is maximum when dV/db = 0. Thus;

dV/db = 25 - 3b²/4

25 - 3b²/4 = 0

√(100/3) = b

b = 5.77 ft

Thus;

h = (100 - (√(100/3)²)/4(5.77)

h = 2.8885 ft

Thus;

Largest volume = [√(100/3)]² * 2.8885

Largest Volume = 96.28 ft³

Answer:

x=0.5

y = 10.5

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 3x + 7

y = 5x + 8

3x + 7 = 5x + 8

3x - 5x=  8 - 7

2x = 1

x= 1/2

x=0.5

y = 5x + 8

y = 5(0.5) + 8

y = 2.5 + 8

y = 10.5
