Kate made a box to hold her jewelry collection. She used 42 inches of wood to build the sides of the box. If the box was 9 Inche

s wide, how long was the box?

Assuming that the sides of the box are square (having 90° angles on all four corners), then it should be relatively easy for us to find the length of the box, given the perimeter and the length of one side.
We know the length of all sides combined is 42 inches, and that the length of one side is 9 inches. With a rectangular prism, the length of one side is the same as the length of the opposite side, so there are two sides that measure 9 inches.
All we need to do to find the measure of both the other sides' lengths is subtract the known lengths from the total length.

9 + 9 = 18

42 - 18 = 24

So the rest of the side lengths added together is 24 inches.
There are two sides left, so all we have to do is divide by 2 to find the length of the box.

24 / 2 = 12

The length of Kate's jewelry box is 12 inches.
Hope that helped =)

A 3-ounce serving of tuna fish provides 24 grams of protein. How many grams of protein are in a 19-ounce serving of tuna fish?
Veronika [31]
24/3 is 8, therefore there are 8 grams of protein per ounce of tuna. So 19*8 wld be 152.. there would be 152 grams of protein in a 19 ounce serving.

Find the vertex of y=-x^2+6x-12
Debora [2.8K]
You find the x coordinates using x = -b/2a  = -6/2(-1) = 3

Substitute 3 in the equation and find y

y = -(3^2) + 6(3) - 12 = -9 + 18 - 12 = -3

Vertex (3,-3)

3x+y=115x-y=21 Directions: Solve each system of equations by elimination. Clearly identify your solution.
olchik [2.2K]

To solve, we will follow the steps below:

3x+y=11 --------------------------(1)



5x-y=21 ------------------------------(2)

since y have the same coefficient, we can eliminate it directly by adding equation (1) and (2)

adding equation (1) and (2) will result;

8x =32

divide both-side of the equation by 8

x = 4

We move on to eliminate x and then solve for y

To eliminate x, we have to make sure the coefficient of the two equations are the same.

We can achieve this by multiplying through equation (1) by 5 and equation (2) by 3

The result will be;

15x + 5y = 55 ----------------------------(3)

15x - 3y =63 --------------------------------(4)

subtract equation (4) from equation(3)

8y = -8

divide both-side of the equation by 8

y = -1

Two cars traveled equal distances in different amounts of time. Car A traveled the distance in 2 h, and Car B traveled the dista
Yuki888 [10]
d=v \cdot t
d - distance
v - speed
t - time

Car A:
v_1 \\
t_1=2 \\
d_1=v \cdot 2=2 v

Car B:
15 mph faster than car A
v_2=v_1+15 \\ t_2=1.5 \\ d_2= (v_1+15) \cdot 1.5=1.5v_1 + 22.5

Both cars traveled equal distances:
d_1=d_2 \\
2v_1 = 1.5v_1+22.5 \\
2v_1-1.5v_1=22.5 \\
0.5v_1=22.5 \\
v_1=45 \\ v_2=45 + 15 =60

Car B traveled at the speed of 60 mph.
