A rectangular piece of metal is 30 in longer than it is wide. Squares with sides 6 in long are cut from the four corners and the

flaps are folded upward to form an open box. If the volume of the box is 2706 incubed​, what were the original dimensions of the piece of​ metal?

Answer:

length=53 in

width= 23 in

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we know that each corner has now a square of 6 in long, so the heigth of the box will be of this size (as you can see in the picture attached). Then, the length and the width of the box would be the same as the piece, but with 12 in less. Therefore the equations to solve the problem are:

h=6 in\\w=x-12\\l=x+30-12\\l=x+18\\\\V: volume of the box\\V=6*(x-12)*(x+18)\\2706=6x^{2}+36x-1296\\0=6x^{2}+36x-4002\\\\

We factorize the 6 and we get:

0=x^{2}+6x-667\\

Finally we solve for x, and we get the initial dimensions of the piece of metal:

x=23l=30+x=30+23=53 in\\w=x= 23 in

Rewrite the equation in Ax+By=C form
Ksju [112]

Ax + By = C form of the given equation is –6x + y = –28.

Solution:

Given equation is y – 2 = 6(x – 5).

To write the equation in Ax + By = C format:

y – 2 = 6(x – 5)

y – 2 = 6x – 30

Add 2 on both sides of the equation.

y – 2 + 2 = 6x – 30 + 2

y = 6x – 28

Subtract 6x from both sides of the equation.

y – 6x = 6x – 28 – 6x

y – 6x = –28

Arrange the terms in the equation.

–6x + y = –28

This is in the form of Ax + By = C.

Here A = –6, B = 1 and C = –28.

Please help me with this question
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

2(a - 4) + 5(b + 1) = 8. The result of this equation when solving is a = - 5b/2 + 11/2.

3(a - 1) - 2(b - 2) = -11. The result of this equation when solving is a = 2b/3 - 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps =)

Write the slope intercept form of the r question of the line parallel to the graph of 2x+y=5 that passes through (0,1)
Fofino [41]

Step-by-step explanation:

first let's get the original line in slope intercept form.

the vegetal slope intercept form is

y = ax + b

a is the slope, b is the y-intercept.

2x + y = 5

y = -2x + 5

there !

a line parallel to this line must have the same slope (-2).

but it will intersect with the y-axis at a different point.

the y-intersect is the y value when x = 0.

the given point (0, 1) is already that y-intersect (because x=0).

so, the desired parallel line function is

y = -2x + 1

if we had a different point of the line, e.g. (4, -7), we would go back to the general equation

y = ax + b

put in the slope we know (-2)

y = -2x + b

and then put in the x and y cakes if the point and calculate b

-7 = -2×4 + b

-7 = -8 + b

b = 1

and then we get again

y = -2x + 1
