A company sells boxes that are 2 3/8 feet high, 3 5/8 feet long and 1 7/8 feet wide. John has a storage room that is 8 feet wide

, 10 feet deep, and 12 feet high. You may rotate the boxes so that the width and length are interchanged, but the boxes may not be laid on their sides. What is the maximum number of boxes that he may stack on top of one another?

<span>The maximum number of boxes that may be stacked on top of one another is 5 boxes. Note that the questions asks how many boxes can be stacked ON TOP of one another, not how many can fit in the storage room. Further, the boxes cannot be manipulated to change their height. Thus, to find the answer we only need 2 of the measurements given: the height of the boxes and the height of the storage unit. The height of the box is 2 3/8 feet, which can be written as 2.375 feet. The height of the storage unit is 12 feet. Simply dividing the height of the storage unit by the height of the boxes give us: 12/2.375=5.052631... Thus the maximum number of number of boxes that can be stacked is 5.</span>

X+9=2x-3<br> FIND THE X!!!!!!
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>To find "x"</u>, we need to <u>isolate it</u>. This means move "x" to the left side, and everything else to the right side.

When moving a number, do its <u>reverse operation</u> to the entire equation.

x + 9 = 2x - 3

x - 2x + 9 = 2x - 2x - 3         Subtract 2x from both sides

-x + 9 = -3                              

-x + 9 - 9 = -3 - 9           Subtract 9 from both sides

-x = -12

-x/-1 = -12/-1          Divide both sides by -1 to get rid of the negatives

x = 12                     Final answer

Check your answer. Split the equation for the left and right sides. Substitute "x" for the answer "12".

LS:   (left side)

x + 9

= 12 + 9              Add

= 21

RS:   (right side)

2x - 3

= 2(12) - 3            Multiply before subtracting

= 24 - 3               Subtract

= 21

Both sides equal to 21 when "x" is 12.

LS = RS          left side equals right side

Therefore the answer is correct.

Use the given similar triangles to find the value of x<br> I need the answer fast please!!
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

I believe the answer is x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>3x</em> and<em> 4x-1 </em> are corresponding sides and so are <em>14</em> and <em>18</em>.

You cross multiply with the smaller triangle lengths at the top.

3x/(4x-1)= 14/18

Cross multiply to get

18(3x)= 14(4x-1)

54x=56x-14

Subtract 54x on the other side and add 14 to the other (or subtract 56x to the other side)

you get 14=2x and divide 14 by 2 to get x=7

Find the hypotenuse of each isosceles right triangle when the legs are of the given measure. Given = 6"
Svetllana [295]
From this detail that is a right isosceles triangle result that the angles from the base has measure of 45 degrees 
- there is given again that the length of legs is 6"
- than we drawn the height from the right angle on hypotenuse and use sin45 we get 
but we need to know that 6" = 6*2,6 = 15,6 cm = 0,156 m
cos 45° = (half of hypotenuse)/6"

sqrt2 /2 = (half of hyp) /6"

half of hyp. = 6"sqrt2 /2 = 3sqrt2" so than the length of hypotenuse will be 

equal 2*3sqrt2 = (6sqrt2)"

Expand &amp; simplify<br> 2<br> (<br> b<br> +<br> 4<br> )<br> +<br> 5<br> (<br> b<br> −<br> 3<br> )
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

7b - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use distributive property which is x (a + b) = x*a + x*b and x (a - b) = x*a - x*b. Therefore, the expression is 2*b + 2*4 + 5*b - 5*3 which is:

2b + 8 + 5b - 15, which is, if you combine like terms:

7b - 7
