a rectangular piece of metal is 10 in. longer than it is wide. squares with sides 2 in. long are cut from the four corners and t

he flaps are folded upward to form an open box. if the volume of the box is 832 in. cubed, what were the original dimensions of the piece of metal

Volume of the box = length  * width * height

length of original peice = x + 10 , width = x

length of box  (x + 10) - 4  = x + 6
width of box = x - 4
height of box =  2

so we have 

2 * (x -4) * ( x + 6) = 832

2x^2 + 4x - 48 = 832

2x^2 + 4x - 880 = 0
x^2  + 2x - 440 = 0

(x + 22)(x - 20) = 0

x = 20

so width of original piece of metal = 20 ins , length = 30 inches.

A colony of 85 bacteria doubles in size every 126 minutes. What will the population be 378
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

680 Bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

378 is evenly divisible by 126, which is equal to 3.

The first 126 minutes, the 85 bacteria will double to 170 bacteria.

The second 126 minutes (252 minutes total), the 170 bacteria will double to 340 bacteria.

The final 126 minutes (378 minutes total), the 340 bacteria will double to 680 bacteria total.

If this helped, a brainliest would be greatly appreciated!

Chisaka has less than 145kg of food remaining in her spaceship. She needs a constant amount of food each day that she spacewalks
Veseljchak [2.6K]
If Chisaka does not space walks, the days she spend spacewalking are equal to zero. Since <span>S represents the number of days Chisaka spacewalks, we just need to replace </span>S=0 in our inequality to find how long her food will last if she does not spacewalks:
2.22S+1.3N\ \textless \ 145
2.22(0)+1.3N\ \textless \ 145
1.3N\ \textless \ 145

From this calculation we can infer that the coefficient of N, 1.3, is the amount of food she needs per day if she doesn't spacewalks. Similarly the coefficient of S, 2.2, is the amount of food she need per day if she spacewalks.

We can conclude that Chisaka will need 1.3 kg of food if she doesn't spacewalks, and 2.2 kg of food if she spacewalks.
