This problem can be solved using ratios:

100:3 = 3800:x

Now we solve for x by doing the following algebra:

3800*3 = 100x

11400 = 100x

114 = x

The answer is 114 pounds

Answer:

the elephants weight on Planet B is 114.first you divide 3800 by 100 it gives you 38 then multiply 38 times 3 it gives you 114.the answer of the question is 114. you have to use unit rate or the whole enchilada method.

an open rectangular cardboard box with a square base is to have a volume of 256cm^3. Find the dimensions of the box if the area
Anit [1.1K]
Let
x------> the length side of the square base of the box
y-------> the height of the box

we know that
volume of the box=b²*h
b=x
h=y
volume=256 cm³
so
256=x²*y------>y=256/x²-------->  equation 1

<span>The amount of material used is directly proportional to the surface area, so we will minimize the amount of material by minimizing the surface area.</span>

surface area of the cardboard=area of the base+perimeter of base*height
area of the base=x²
perimeter of the base=4*x
height=y
surface area=x²+4x*y-----> equation 2
substitute equation 1 in equation 2
SA=x²+4x*[256/x²]-----> SA=x²+1024/x

step 1 
find the first derivative of SA and equate to zero
2x+1024*(-1)/x²=0------> 2x=1024/x²----> x³=512--------> x=8 cm
y=256/x²------> y=256/8²-----> y=4 cm

the answer is
the length side of the square base of the box is 8 cm
the height of the box is 4 cm

The sum of three numbers is 10. Two times the second number minus the first number is equal to 12.
eimsori [14]

<u>Answer:</u>

-10,1,19

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

<u></u>

x+y+z = 10 (Equation 1)

2y-x= 12  (Equation 2)

x-y+2z = 7 (Equation 3)

(Equation 2): -x = -2y+12

                       x = 2y-12 (Equation 4)

(Equation 1) - (Equation 3): 2y-z = 3

                                              -z = -2y+3

                                               z = 2y-3 (Equation 5)

Substitute (4) and (5) into (1)

x+y+z = 10

(2y-12)+y+(2y-3) = 10

5y-15 = 10

5y = 5

y=1

Substitute y=1 into (2)

2y-x= 12

2(1)-x= 12

2-x= 12

-x= 12-2

-x= 10

x= -10

Substitute y=1 and x=-10 into (1)

x+y+z = 10

-10+1+z = 10

z-9 = 10

z = 10+9

z = 19

Order: x = -10, y = 1, and z = 19
