Length=6, width=2, height=20. We can write a function to solve this problem. Suppose the length of the sculpture is x inches. Then the width is (x-4) inches, and the height (3x+2) inches. Their product is the volume of the clay: x*(x-4)*(3x+2)=240. Solve the equation, the only real answer is 6, so the length is 6 inches. Width is 6-4=2, and height is 3*6+2=20.

Find the value of 5x-6 given that 2x-7=9​
erik [133]

Answer:

34

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

2x - 7 = 9 ← solve for x

Add 7 to both sides

2x = 16 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 8

Substitute x = 8 into 5x - 6

5x - 6 = (5 × 8) - 6 = 40 - 6 = 34

A taxi ride costs p40.00 for the first 500 meters and each additional 300 meters or a fraction there of adds p3.50 to the fare.u
Zarrin [17]

The function which represents the taxi fare in terms of distance d in meter is f(d) = 3.50 ×\frac{d-500}{300} + 40 .

According to the question,

For first 500 meters cost is  40.00 and For each additional 300 meters cost is 3.50 .

Let, the total distance of taxi ride = d meters

Now, representing the equation of taxi fare in terms of distance when distance is less than 500

taxi fare = 3.50 ×  \frac{d-500}{300}  + 40

∴  f(d) = 3.50 ×  \frac{d-500}{300} + 40
