The volume of a packing box is 5 – x cubic feet. The width of the box is x feet and the length is x – 2 feet. The height is give
photoshop1234 [79]
By definition we have that the volume is given by
 V = h * w * l
 where
 V: Volume
 h: height
 w: width
 l: length
 Clearing the height we have:
 h = V / (w * l)
 h = (5 - x) / ((x) * (x - 2))
 The expression is not defined for the values of x that make the denominator zero:
 ((x) * (x - 2)) = 0
 x = 0
 x = 2
 Answer
 h = (5 - x) / ((x) * (x - 2))
 x = 0
 x = 2

How do i solve x/2+1/3=x/3+1/2
stepladder [879]
X/2+1/3=x/3+1/2
x/2=x/3+1/2-1/3
x/2 - x/3 = 3/6 - 2/6
x/2 - x/3 = 1/6
3x/6 - 2x/6 = 1/6
x/6 = 1/6
x = 1/6 * 6

x = 1

Solve the system of elimination -2x+2y+3z=0 -2x-y+z=-3 2x+3y+3z=5
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

x = 1 , y = 1 and z = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

-2x+2y+3z=0    ------(1)

-2x-y+z=-3     --------(2)

2x+3y+3z=5    ---------(3)

<u>To find the values of x,y and z</u>

(3) - (2)⇒ 2y + 4z = 2

y + 2z = 1   --------(4)

(1) - (2)⇒ 3y +2z =3   ---(5)

(5) - (4)⇒ 2y = 2

y = 1

Substituting the value of y in (4) we get z =0

Substituting the value of y and z  in (1) we get x = 1

Therefore x = 1 , y = 1 and z = 0

Simplify each expression<br> 1.) (7+x) + 7x<br><br><br><br> Pls show your work
Papessa [141]
The answer is 14x.

You always have to do whats in the parenthesis first. In this case you would do 7 + x = 7x. Then, you add this 7x to the other 7 x. 7x+7x=14x.

<h3>How to find Trevor's total employee benefits?</h3>

If you would like to know Trevor's total employee advantages, you can estimate this utilizing the subsequent steps:

To find the percentage of the total employee benefits x% of $28,600 exists $33,500.

To estimate the value of x, bring the variable to the left side and bring all the remaining variables to the right side. Simplify the values to estimate the result.

x/100 * 28,600 = 33,500

x = 33,500 * 100 / 28,600

x = 117.13% = 117%

117% - 100% = 17%

x = 17%

The correct result would be 17%.

Trevor's total employee benefits exists 17.1% of his gross pay.
