Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let side of cube=x cm

volume=x³ cm³

again side=(x-3) cm

volume=(x-3)³ cm³

x³-(x-3)³=1385

(a³-b³)=(a-b)(a²+ab+b²)

(x-x+3){x²+x(x-3)+(x-3)²}=1385

3(x^2+x²-3x+x²-6x+9)=1385

3(3x²-9x+9)=1385

9x²-27x+27=1385

9x²-27x+27-1385=0

9x²-27x-1358=0

x=\frac{27\pm\sqrt{(-27)^2-4*9*(-1358)} }{2*9} \\x=\frac{27\pm\sqrt{729+48888} }{18} \\or~x=\frac{27\pm\sqrt{49617} }{18} \\or~x=\frac{27\pm 222.749}{18} \\taking positive side only as negative sign gives negative length.\\or~x=\frac{27+222.749}{18} \\or~x\approx13.87

mojhsa [17]

Answer: T = 4c + 4t + 3s

Step-by-step explanation:

Stocks contains:

4-legged chairs

4-legged tables

3-legged stools

So, 1 chair has legs = 4

So, c chairs has legs = 4c

1 table has legs = 4

So, t tables has legs = 4t

1 stool has legs = 3

So, s stools has legs = 3s

Let T denotes the total no. of legs

So, the total number of furniture legs in aisle 2 :

T = 4c + 4t + 3s

Find the slope between the points. (4,-2) and (8,5)
aksik [14]
Slope = m

Equation to find slope is:

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

2 points:
(4,-2) 4 = x1 and -2 = y1
(8,5) 8 = x2 and 5 = y2

So...

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

m = (5 - (-2)) / (8 - 4)

m = 7 / 4 or 1.75

Therefore, the slope of the line is 7/4 OR 1.75.

What is the greatest common factor of 15x^3y^2 and 20x^4y^4?
Vanyuwa [196]
<h3>What is the greatest common factor of 15x³y² and 20x⁴y⁴? ​</h3>

​<em>First we have to find the factors of 15x³y²</em>

<em>15x³y² = 3 * 5x³y² ​</em>

<em>​Then we have to find the factors of 20x⁴y⁴</em>

<em>​20x⁴y⁴ = 2²x¹y² * 5x³y²</em>

<em>Now we have to find the common factors to both numbers.​</em>

<em>The common factors are </em><em>5x³y²</em>

Answer : GCF = (15x³y²,20x⁴y⁴) = 5x³y²​

​Hope this helps!​​​​
