Answer:

x^2(3x-2) cubic inches OR in^3

OR

3x { 3 [ 3x ( x - 2 ) + 4 ] } - 8 cubic inches OR in^3

I AM UNAWARE IF YOU ASKED THAT ONE SIDE IS (3X-2) OR ALL. I WILL ANSWER BOTH PARTS

<em>-</em>

<em>NOTE</em><em>:</em><em> </em><em>'</em><em>^</em><em>'</em><em> </em><em>MEANS</em><em> </em><em>TO</em><em> </em><em>THE</em><em> </em><em>POWER</em><em> </em><em>OF</em><em>.</em><em>.</em>

<em>-</em>

Volume = v, abc = 3 sides of cube (height, width, length)

Using the formula for volume in a cube,

v = abc

We can solve this.

If one side is (3x-2)in,

  • (3x-2)(x)(x) = v.... x are the other two sides
  • x^2(3x-2) = v

x^2(3x-2) cubic inches OR in^3

If all sides are (3x-2)in,

Use the formula,

(a - b) ^{3}  =  {a}^{3}  + 3ab(b - a) -  {b}^{3}

We can solve this.

  • (3x-2)(3x-2)(3x-2) = v
  • (3x-2)^3 = v.... 3x = a and -2 = b
  • (3x)^3 + [(3)(3x)(2)][2-3x] - (2)^3 = v
  • 27x^3 + 18x(2-3x) -8 = v
  • (27x^3 + 36x - 54x^2) - 8 = v.. Terms inside brackets - take 3x as common and leave out 8
  • 3x(9x^2 -18x +12) = v... Take 3 as common again in the brackets
  • 3x [ 3 ([3x^2 -6x] + 4) -8 = v....Take 3x common in the terms in square brackets
  • 3x [ 3 [ 3x (x-2) + 4 ]] - 8 = v
  • 3x { 3 [ 3x ( x - 2 ) + 4 ] } - 8 = v

3x { 3 [ 3x ( x - 2 ) + 4 ] } - 8 cubic inches OR in^3

Answer:

Oil: 10.5 oz Vinegar: 3.5 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

If the amount of vinegar is the variable x than the amount of oil is 3x. this means that x+3x=14 or 4x=14. Which means x=3.5 so vinegar is 3.5 while oil is three times that or 10.5.
