Sue has a plastic paperweight shaped like a rectangular pyramid. The volume is 120 cubic inches, the height is 6 inches, and the

length is 10 inches. She has a gift box that is a rectangular prism with a base that is 6 inches by 10 inches. How tall must the box be for it to hold the pyramid?

The volume of the pyramid is given by:
Volume=120 in³
The volume of rectangular prism is:
volume=length×width×height
let the height be x:
the volume will be:
volume=x×6×10=60x in².
Therefore for the box to hold the pyramid, the box must have the same volume as the pyramid. hence the height of the box that will hold the pyramid will be:
120=60x
solving for x we get:
x=120/60
x=2 inches.
Therefore for the box to hold the pyramid, it should be 2 inches tall.

Three times x is less then -6 and greater then -21
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

-21 < 3x < -6

OR -6 > 3x > -21

Step-by-step explanation:

Take a part each section of the word form. Translate each section into algebraic form (numbers and symbols) and put the sections back together.

"Three times x": 3x        A number and variable together multiply

"is less than -6": < -6

"and greater than -21": > -21

When writing that a number is > or <, you can also write the number on the other side, change the symbol, and it will mean the same thing.

< -6 is the same as -6 >

> -21  is the same as -21 <

<u>The number remains on the same open or closed side of the symbol.</u>

The problem tells use that "3x" is between -21 and -6. Put the sections back together, but write 3x in the middle.

-21 < 3x < -6

You can also write:

-6 > 3x > -21

You can write them either way, but some teachers prefer smaller number to bigger number from left to right.

Consider the following system of equations given in slope-intercept form.
Igoryamba

Option c. The range of window for the data is given as 0 Less-than-or-equal-to x Less-than-or-equal-to 20, 0 Less-than-or-equal-to y Less-than-or-equal-to 20

<h3>How to solve for the range of the data</h3>

We have the equation to be

y = −3x + 17,

and y = 5x - 23

We have to make the two equations to be equal

This would then give us

−3x + 17 = 5x - 23

The next step is to take the like terms

3x - 5x = -23-17

-2x = -40

From you we have to divide by -2

x = 20

The range would be written as

0 ≤ x ≤ 20, 0 ≤ y ≤ 20
