X = - 21/4

2/3x - 4 1/2 = - 8
2/3x = - 8 + 4 1/2

- 8 + 4 = - 4. Then do - 4 + 1/2 = - 3 1/2

2/3x = - 3 1/2

- 3 1/2 is the same as = - 7/2

2/3x = - 7/2

Flip the coefficient on the variable and multiply both sides by it.

(3/2)(2/3)x = - 7/2(3/2)

x = - 7/2(3/2)

x = - 21/4

A shipping company is loading cube shaped crates into a larger cube shaped container the smaller cubes have side lengths 21/2 fe

Answer:

64 crates

Step-by-step explanation:

Smaller Cube Side Length = 2 1/2 feet, or, 2.5 feet

Larger Container (Cube) Side Length = 10 feet

We find volume of larger container and find volume of small crates. We divide the large volume by volume of each crate. This will give us number of crates we can fit.

Volume of Cube = x^3

Where x is the side length of the cube

Now,

Small Crate Volume = (2.5)^3 = 15.625 cubic feet

Large Container Volume = 10^3 = 1000 cubic feet

Number of crates that would fit = 1000/15.625 = 64

So, 64 crates will fit in the largest shipping container
