Answer:
Height: 3/2 inches
Length: 12 inches
Width: 4 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x is the side length of the square
The height of the box by cutting squares off :x
- The new length of the cardboard = 15 -2x (because we cut from 4 corners)
- The new width of the cardboard = 7 -2x (because we cut from 4 corners)
The new volume of it is:
V = (15 -2x) (7 -2x) x
<=> V =
To maximum volume, we use the first derivative of the volume
<=> 
<=> 
<=> 2x -3 = 0 or 6x -35 = 0
<=> x = 3/2 or x = 35/6
To determine which value of x gives a maximum, we evaluate
= 24x -88
= 24(3/2) -88 = -52
= 24(35/6) -88 = 52
We choose x = 3/2 to have the maximum volume because the value of x that gives a negative value is maximum.
So the dimensions (in inches) of the box is:
Height: 3/2 inches
Length: 15-2(3/2) = 12 inches
Width: 7 - 2(3/2) = 4 inches
y = 8 -2x
x + 2 (8 - 2x) = 1
x + 16 - 4x = 1
x - 4x = -15
-3x = -15
x = 5
If x = 5, then we can substitute in...
5 + 2y = 1
2y = -4
y = -2
Now let us check that by substituting those values in to the equation
2x + y = 8
2 (5) + (-2) = 8
That is correct so we have the right values for x and y/
Answer:
y=8
Step-by-step explanation:
24/3=8
3*8=24
hope this helps :3
if it did pls mark brainliest
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
We can subtract both sides of the equation by 3, getting 3 + p - 3 = 8 - 3.
Then we can evaluate, getting p = 8 - 3 = 5.
