Let x represent the side length of the squares.
We have been given that an open box is made from an 8 by ten-inch rectangular piece of cardboard by cutting squares from each corner and folding up the sides. We are asked to find the volume of the box.
The side of box will be
and
.
The height of the box will be
.
The volume of box will be area of base times height.

Now we will use FOIL to simplify our expression.


Now we will distribute x.


Therefore, the volume of the box would be
.
Answer:
Therefore the maximum number of video games that we can purchase
is 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
i) Let us say the number of video game system we can buy that costs $185
is x and the number of video games of cost $14.95 is y.
ii) The total amount we can spend on the purchase of the video game
system is $280.
iii) Now with the amount of $280 mentioned in ii) we can see that the
number of game systems that can be bought is 1.
Therefore x = 1.
Therefore the equation we can write to equate the number of video
games and video game system is given by $185 + $14.95 × y ≤ 280
Therefore 14.95 × y ≤ 280 - 185 = 95
Therefore y ≤ 95 ÷ 14.95 = 6.355
Therefore the maximum number of video games that we can purchase
is 6.
20, 10 line segments each with 2 ends = 20
To find an inverse, switch the x and the y and solve for the new y. Yours switched is x = 3y. Now solving for y we divide both sides by 3 to get y = x/3
