I believe the answer is B, I hope that helps!
Answer:
5
Explanation:
Word problem.
First statememt
n/2 - 4 = -6. ....... (1)
Second statement.
3n + 7 = x. ....... (2)
From (1)
n/2 - 4 = -6.
n/2 = -6 +4
n/2 = -2
n= -4
Put n into (2).
3n + 7 = x
3(-4) +7 = x
x= -12 +7 = -5
The answer is -5.

Answer:
Volume = 480 cubic inches
Explanation:
We have the following relationships to work with
width w = h -3
length l = h + 4
area of base of prism a = l x w = 60 (1)
area of base in terms of h = (h-3)(h+4) =h² -3h + 4h -12 (2)
Setting (1) = (2) gives
h² + h -12 =60
h² + h -72 = 0
Factoring the LHS we get
(h+9)(h-8) = 0
The solutions for h are
h + 9 = 0 ==> h = -9
h - 8 = 0 ==> h = 8
Since h cannot be negative, h = 8 inches
Volume = base area x h = 60 x 8 = 480 cubic inches
<u>Note</u>
We do not have to calculate length and width separately, but if so,
w = 8 -3 = 5
l = 8 + 4 = 12
