Answer:16 is x
Step-by-step explanation:
this is a equilateral triangle witch means the sides are the same. 3x is more than 2x so they put - 8 to get to 2 x and 8 times 2 is 16 and there you go.
3+(-4)=(-1)
so, 3 is the missing number
Well, the answer to the question in your picture is $1200.
If x is the original price, and we took 23%, or 0.23 from that, we are left with 77%, or 0.77 of the full price.
So 0.77x = 924
x = 924/0.77
x = 1,200
1200 - 0.23(1200) = 924
924 = 0.77x
L = 2 W
B = L x W = 2 W²
Side Area = 2 W H + 2 L H = 2 H ( W + L ) = 6 H W
V = 2 W² H = 10
H = 5 / W²
Cost = 15 * 2 W² + 9 * 5/W
= 30 W² + 270/ W
C ` = 60 W - 270 / W²
= ( 60 W² - 270 ) / W² = 0
60 W² = 270
W ² = 270 : 60
W² = 4.5
W = √ 4.5 = 2.12
Cost (min) = 15 * 2 * 4.5 + 30 / 2.12 = 135 + 14.15 = $149.15
Answer: The cost of materials for the cheapest such container is $149.15.
