Let W = width of package
Let H = height of package
Let L = length of package

The perimeter cab be one of the following:
P = 2(L + W),  or
P = 2(L + H)

The perimeter of the cross section cannot exceed 108 in.
When the width is 10 in, then
 2(L + 10) <= 108
 L + 10 <= 54
 L <= 44 in

When the height is 15 in, then
2(L + 15) <= 108
L + 15 <= 54
L <= 39 in

To satisfy both of these conditions requires that L <= 39 in.

Answer: 39 inches

please help me i have a huge science test that i have to study for after this so PLEASE HELP ME GET THE ANSWER
enot [183]
Usually, quadratic equations equal 0, and to find the solution you need to make x equal the value that, when added or subtracted to the rest of its bracket, makes 0. This means that your answer is (x + 5)(x - 2) = 0, because 5 - 5 = 0 and 2 - 2 = 0. I hope this helps! Let me know if you would like me to explain further :)

Country days scholarship rounds receive a gift of $135000. The money is invested in stock, bonds, and CDs. CDs pay 2.75% interes
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

  • CDs — $10,000
  • bonds — $80,000
  • stocks — $45,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the variables c, b, s represent the dollar amounts invested in CDs, stocks, and bonds, respectively. Then the problem statement gives us 3 relations between these 3 variables:

  c + b + s = 135000 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . total invested

  0.0275c +.045b +0.104s = 8555 . . . . . total income earned

  -c + b = 70000 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 70,000 more was in bonds than CDs

Using the third equation to write an expression for b, we can substitute into the other two equations.

  b = 70000 +c . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . expression we can substitute for b

  c + (70000 +c) +s = 135000 . . . . substitute for b in the first equation

  2c +s = 65000 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [eq4] simplify

  .0275c +.045(70000 +c) +.104s = 8555 . . . . . substitute for b in 2nd eqn

  .0725c +.104s = 5405 . . . . . . . . . . [eq5] simplify

Using [eq4], we can write an expression for s that can be substituted into [eq5].

  s = 65000 -2c . . . . . . . expression we can substitute for s

  0.0725c +0.104(65000 -2c) = 5405

  -0.1355c = -1355 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 6760, simplify

  c = 1355/.1355 = 10,000

  s = 65000 -2×10000 = 45,000

  b = 70000 +10000 = 80,000

The amounts invested in stocks, bonds, and CDs were $45,000, $80,000, and $10,000, respectively.

Alternatively, you can reduce the augmented matrix for this problem to row-echelon form using any of several calculators or on-line sites. That matrix is ...

\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&1&1&135000\\0.0275&0.045&0.104&8555\\-1&1&0&70000\end{array}\right]
