3x-13=305

3x=305+13

3x=318

(3x)÷3=318÷3

x=106

check.. (3×106)-13=305

318-13=305

305=305

A box's volume is equal to 600 cubic

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Length = x

width = x - 7

height = x - 10

volume = 600 in^3

Volume = L * w * h

600 = x * (x - 7)*(x - 10)

600 = x * (x^2 - 17x + 70)

600 = x^3 - 17x^2 + 70x

x^3 - 17x^2 + 70x - 600 = 0

There is a genius somewhere that could solve this using algebra. The rest of us have 2 choices. We can graph it (see below) or we could use a program that solves it for us. I'll do both for you.

a = 1

b = - 17

c = 70

d = - 600

There is only 1 real solution: x = 15

L = 15

w = 8

h = 5

That has to be one of the ugliest graphs made. It does into the hundreds of thousands and it still looks like a straight line. Trust me. It's not.

What is the slope of the line?

sineoko [7]

Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

You can do this two different ways. Both include picking two points where the line crosses a corner. I'm using (0,-1) and (4,2). Now here you can either use

Slope= $\frac{Rise}{Run}$

or $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

If you use the first one start at point (0,-1) and go to point (4,2) and count how many it goes up (rise) and then put that over how many it goes to the right (run).

If you use the second one then plug in the numbers.

y2=second y point

y1=first y point

x2=second x point

x1=first x point

$\frac{2-(-1)}{4-0}$ Now just solve.

$\frac{3}{4}$

Biologists stocked a lake with 80 fish and estimated the carrying capacity (the maximal population for the fish of that species

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

$P(t) = \frac{160000e^{1.36t}}{2000 + 80(e^{1.36t} - 1)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The logistic equation is the following one:

$P(t) = \frac{KP(0)e^{rt}}{K + P(0)(e^{rt} - 1)}$

In which P(t) is the size of the population after t years, K is the carrying capacity of the population, r is the decimal growth rate of the population and P(0) is the initial population of the lake.

In this problem, we have that:

Biologists stocked a lake with 80 fish and estimated the carrying capacity (the maximal population for the fish of that species in that lake) to be 2,000. This means that $P(0) = 80, K = 2000$ .
