<u>Answer</u>

<em>12 in by 12 in</em>

<u>Explanation</u>

The original length = x

This makes the length of the cube made to be = x - (2×2)

                                                                               = (x - 4) in

height of the cube = 2 in

Volume of the cube = (x - 4) × (x - 4) × 2 = 128

                                 = (x² - 8x + 16) × 2 = 128

                                = 2x² - 16x + 32 = 128

                                 = 2x² - 16x + 32- 128=0

                                 = 2x² - 16x - 96 = 0

                                 = x² - 8x - 48 = 0

lets use the factor method to solve the quadrilatic equation above,

x² - 8x - 48 = 0

proctuct = -48

sum = -8

The two factors are; -12 and 8.

(x + 8)(x - 12) = 0

So the value of x are 12 and -8.  Since x is a length, it can not be negative.

∴ x = 12 in.

The original dimensions of the sheet are <em>12 in by 12 in</em>.

Why might you want to use the commutative property to change the order of the integers in the following sum before adding
Delicious77 [7]
<span>Commutative Property is the property in which you can move around numbers in numerical operations like, addition and multiplication while retaining their result. In contrast to subtraction and division in which position is an important factor for every result, here it is regardless. </span>Why might you want to use this property?<span>Well, most importantly it suits the operation of addition and hence, to ensure the arrangement of the number is in symmetric proportion to its counterpart such as 3 + 2=2 + 3. Or rather, understanding that the equations in both sides are but the same and equal in sum. Thus, this is much more usable or will make more sense if used in a larger scale of complex equations and integers.<span>

The point B(1, 1) is rotated 90° counterclockwise around the origin. What are the co
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Given that the point B is (1,1) is rotate 90° counterclockwise around the origin.

We need to determine the coordinates of the resulting point B'.

<u>Coordinates of the point B':</u>

The general rule to rotate the point 90° counterclockwise around the origin is given by

(x, y) \rightarrow(-y, x)

The new coordinate can be determined by interchanging the coordinates of x and y and changing the sign of y.

Now, we shall determine the coordinates of the point B' by substituting (1,1) in the general rule.

Thus, we have;

Coordinates of B' = (1,1) \rightarrow(-1,1)

Thus, the coordinates of the resulting point B' is (-1,1)

Brandon uses the steps below to solve the equation 15 x + 6 = 14 x + 5 using algebra tiles.
iris [78.8K]
Brandon is not correct because he should have added 6 negative unit tiles to isolate the variable in step 2—— the answer would have been x=-1
